Peoples Unite! How Southall changed the country
Southall: A small neighbourhood, with a massive impact.
Southall is a place where an incredible mixture of philosophies, traditions, and art forms have flourished. For three generations, it has produced people who have helped carry this country forward in new and positive directions. Its activists, musicians, artists, and writers have battled discrimination in all its forms. They have rejected hate and division, and shown what can be achieved when we support, listen to, and learn from each other.
Travel through time from the 1970s up to the present day and hear from local heroes who confronted racism through their music and activism.
Peoples Unite! How Southall changed the country is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to create this landmark exhibition.
The National Lottery Heritage Fund is the largest funder for the UK’s heritage. Using money raised by National Lottery players we support projects that connect people and communities to heritage. Our vision is for heritage to be valued, cared for and sustained for everyone, now and in the future. From historic buildings, our industrial legacy and the natural environment, to collections, traditions, stories and more. Heritage can be anything from the past that people value and want to pass on to future generations. We believe in the power of heritage to ignite the imagination, offer joy and inspiration, and to build pride in place and connection to the past. heritagefund.org.uk
