Books have the ability to inspire young people while educating, enlightening readers about their history or for others, truths they don’t live. They also are able to share positive stories of those they may not see; of both themselves and others regularly in mainstream society. This is why we believe Black Books Matter is an important way to educate and inspire young people of all backgrounds on the African Diaspora. Our aim is to ensure every young person feels unique while creating open minds.

Black Books Matter UK, champions diversity in books and stories that represent, are written by and educate on the lives of those from the African Diaspora. We provide books, resources and creative and literary schemes into communities and schools.

Creating space for the diverse world we live in, through the power of books.
