Following years of development, research and planning, we launched our first Black Heritage NI: Hidden History Project exhibition in Derry Central Library on July 1 2025.
Among those in attendance were Mayor of Derry and Strabane, Ruairí McHugh, researchers Chantelle Lunt and Dr Naomi Green, Project Manager Aynaz Zarif and National Lottery Heritage Fund Committee Member Jim McGreevy.
Those gathered were told about the genesis of the project and its subsequent progress before being given a guided tour by Dr Naomi Green.
The exhibition will visit ten libraries, starting with Derry Central where it will remain on display for a month.
Thank you as always to National Lottery Heritage Fund for financing the project.
