This Black History Month 2018 with Paul Crooks

Trailblazing author and family historian Paul Crooks captivates his audience with the truth about the British Government’s decision to abolish slavery and the slave compensation payments that followed.

Paul traced his African forebears enslaved on a Jamaican sugar plantation that existed, 200 years ago. His success tracing his Caribbean ancestry and African Roots was met by an overwhelming response from Black Briton’s interested in tracing their roots.
