The Birmingham Baptist Churches exploring their Black History research project led by Gale Richards, began in January 2025. It has helped the six participating churches to re-narrate their church histories, in ways that acknowledge the largely overlooked experiences and contributions of some of their Black church members. Each of the participating churches’ stories provide important insights into the impact of migration, how racial discrimination can be addressed, and how multicultural or intercultural communities can be established. The project’s findings are available on the dedicated webpages from 1 October 2026, just in time to mark Black History Month.
