Ahmed Iqbal Ullah RACE Centre and Education Trust
The Ahmed Iqbal Ullah RACE Centre and Education Trust is a specialist open-access library and archive, focusing on the study of race, migration and thinking about race, anti-racist activism and the fight for social justice. We are recognised as a centre of excellence in oral history work, Global Majority community-led collecting and ethical community engagement. We work ethically and sensitively with Global Majority communities to explore, document and share their histories, cultures and experiences.
We work with the heritage sector to deliver ethical and anti-racist collections-based practice, and to build anti-racist organisations.
