Hi #twitterstorians & #BlackStudies colleagues, I'm helping a student who's writing about photographs of the New York ballroom scene in the late 80s/early 90s. Does anyone know of writing on photos of ballroom culture? Refs for ballroom culture generally also welcome! Thank you.

Looking forward to chatting about my research on the archives, documentality and the Windrush scandal this Thursday (25 April), 4-5pm The Open University, via the Resisting the Hostile Environment Online Lecture Series. Tickets are free, open to all.

A friend moved to Britain in April 1962 from British Guiana on a CUKC passport. In May 1962 he was handed this newsletter, the psychological impact of which was long lasting. He stayed in the UK but couldn’t bring himself to register as British post BG’s independence.
