David Olusoga’s BBC documentary series – Black and British: A Forgotten History gave a clear examples of presenting this history on a large platform that was palatable to a wide audience. The framing of the narrative is particularly engaging as Olusoga presents this history as ‘everyone’s history’ (Walker-Arnott, 2016). In doing so, Olusoga automatically re-positions Black British history, presenting it as of equal importance, where it can no longer be treated as insignificant and irrelevant.

As a result of this, it combats the ‘historical amnesia’ of collective British consciousness, causing Britain to no longer be able to deny accountability for its atrocities committed throughout history. This helped me to further recognise my responsibility whilst telling stories of Black British history. Stuart Hall’s Representation Theory is reiterated here as I have again acknowledged my influence in the presentation and construction of narratives, considering the influence I have in the way the audience engage with and interpret my outcome.
