My name is Dave Clay, born in Toxteth, Liverpool UK. I am the author of numerous works depicting the Liverpool Black experience.

Made possible by donations from the Liverpool Black community (via GoFundMe), Liverpool City Council, Heritage Development Company Liverpool and Unite, A Liverpool Black History brings those works together in one illustrated volume.

From the uncelebrated contributions of Black servicemen to two world wars, race riots, slavery, Windrush and exclusion to community activism and Liverpool Black achievements in politics, sport and music, this book is an emotional and educational journey through 100 years - a grassroots view of events during this period from a Liverpool Black perspective.
