Black Learning Achievement and Mental Health (BLAM UK) is proud to offer short, bite sized, and accessible global Black history and cultural podcast episodes to aid you in your Black history learning.
This week on Black History Bites by BLAM UK, we honour the life and legacy of Eric Huntley (1930–2026), Guyanese-born activist, educator and publisher who dedicated his life to fighting for Black liberation and educational justice in Britain. From co-founding Bogle-L’Ouverture Publications and the Walter Rodney Bookshop to organising the Black Parents Movement and the 1981 Black People’s Day of Action, Eric Huntley helped shape Black political and cultural life in the UK.
In this episode, we reflect on his lasting impact and how his commitment to putting Black history and literature at the centre of education continues to inspire our work today.
