The call for Richard Branson and Chris Blackwell to fund a permanent exhibition showcases the need to celebrate and preserve Black British musical history and contributions.
Prof Paul Gilroy argues that those who profited from Black British and Caribbean music, like Branson and Blackwell, should financially support a dedicated museum to honor this legacy.
The petition emphasizes the importance of safeguarding Black music’s rare artifacts and ensuring that future generations learn about the profound impact of African and Caribbean contributions to British culture.
The initiative, spearheaded by the Black Music Research Unit, also highlights the necessity of integrating Black British music into educational curricula to inspire the next generation.
