Europe's first war memorial for black soldiers

Available for over a year

Europe's first war memorial honouring African and Caribbean servicemen and women of the First and Second World Wars is to be erected on Remembrance Day. The £34,000 heritage lottery funded project is being led by the Nubian Jak Community Trust in partnership with the West Indian Association of Service Personnel and the Black Cultural Archives. In this clip, the founder of the Nubian Jak Community Trust, Jak Buela, gives the BBC's Reya El-Salahi an exclusive preview of the Brixton site which will house the sculpture.
