The following interview excerpts are from The Heart of The Race Oral History Project (2009-2010). The project was based on 'The Heart Of The Race' by Beverley Bryan, Stella Dadzie & Suzanne Scafe (Virago, 1985), a groundbreaking publication which examined the lives of Black women in Britain using oral testimony. The project collected interviews from a range of Black women involved in the movement of the 1970s and 1980s, capturing the activism and organising undertaken at grassroots, national and international level.
