Did you know that Black people from around the world helped Britain
fight in the First World War? How heroic were the people who
fought? Why did Black people have to keep fighting for equality
even after the war? In this young readers' edition of Black
Poppies, Stephen Bourne takes us on a hero-filled journey. Explore
the many and extraordinary ways in which Black people helped
Britain fight the First World War, on the battlefield and at home.
After meeting Stephen's Aunty Esther, we hear the story of Walter
Tull, who led soldiers in some of history's bloodiest battles and
died in the fighting just weeks before the conflict would end. Then
there is Alhaji Grunshi, an African who fired the first shot of the
whole war. Back at home, Black men and women helped by entertaining
the people, making materials like bullets and uniforms, and
beginning the long fight for equality and the freedom to celebrate
being Black and British with pride.
