Black British Voices project: Major national study aims to redefine black Britishness

It has been an emotional year. From the tragic loss of human life as a result of Covid-19, to the haunting images of George Floyd murdered on the streets of Minneapolis. From the latter, followed promises of change, particularly as it relates to tackling some of the racial inequalities that black people face in the UK.But what has changed and does anyone really know what black people want and how they really feel?This collaborative project between The Voice, Cambridge University and I-Cubed is an opportunity to help us understand how the community is feeling about certain issues.
