Zadie Smith, originally Sadie Smith, (born October 27, 1975, London, England), is a British author known for her treatment of race, religion, and cultural identity and for her novels’ eccentric characters, savvy humour, and snappy dialogue. She became a sensation in the literary world with the publication of her first novel, White Teeth, in 2000. Smith, the daughter of a Jamaican mother and an English father, changed the spelling of her first name to Zadie at age 14. She began writing poems and stories as a child and later studied English literature at the University of Cambridge (B.A., 1998). While there, she began writing White Teeth, and at age 21 she submitted some 80 pages to an agent. A frenzied bidding war ensued, and the book was eventually sold to Hamish Hamilton. Smith took several more years to complete the novel, and in 2000 it was published to rave reviews. Set in the working-class suburb of Willesden in northwest London, White Teeth chronicled the lives of best friends Archie Jones, a down-on-his-luck Englishman whose failed suicide attempt opens the novel, and Samad Iqbal, a Bengali Muslim who struggles to fit into British society. Spanning some 50 years, the novel also detailed the trials and tribulations of their families, which prompted some critics to hail Smith as a modern-day Charles Dickens. The ambitious work won numerous awards, including the Whitbread First Novel Award (2000), and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Orange Prize for Fiction.
The Dan live mostly in the western part of the Côte d’Ivoire and into Liberia. All Dan masks are sacred; they do not represent spirits of the wilderness, they are these spirits. Dan masks are characterized by a concave face, a protruding mouth, high-domed forehead and are often covered in a rich brown patina. There are a variety of Dan face masks, each of which has a different function. They may be the intermediaries, who acts between the village and the forest initiation camp, may act against bush fires during the dry season, used in pre-war ceremonies, for peace-making ceremonies, for entertainment. Over time, many among them have lost their original function and have been recycled into contexts related to entertainment, emerging only for festivals or events organized for visitors.

Communication sped up throughout the twentieth century, but news wasn’t that new by the time it got to Shetland by sea. The wireless meant islanders were up-to-the minute by the 1930s. Radios ran on batteries that were periodically re-charged. Most people went to a firm with a generator, although some homes had a wind-generator. On the Move gallery IMP 1997.16
Winston Best, the eldest child of Lillian and Luther Best from Sugar Hill St Joseph, was born on 15 Aug 1930. He came to England in 1961 and after working for British Rail, went to teacher training college at the Sydney Webb College of Higher Education. He started his career as a teacher in 1966 and continued in education throughout his working life. Starting as a primary school teacher, Winston’s goal was always to improve teaching standards, and the educational achievements of black and Afro-Caribbean children as they struggled against low expectations. He campaigned against bussing, banding and streaming in Haringey in the 1960s, a policy born of the fear that black students would depress overall educational performance. He was also a founding member of the Caribbean Education and Community Workers Association (CECWA) and the Caribbean Teachers Association (CTA). In the 1980s, Winston worked for the Inner London Education Authority (ILEA) as an education officer, developing links with the Ministry of Education in Barbados and developing an exchange program that allowed Barbadian teachers to bring their expertise and experience to London schools whilst providing positive role models. Winston was also appointed Chair of Westphi Academy, an education and training consultancy that broke new ground as one of the first black national consultancy groups in the UK. In 1989, he co-founded the National Association of Supplementary Schools (NASS) and was appointed a primary schools inspector. In the 1990s, as Inspector of Primary Schools for the London Borough of Hackney, he strove for improvements in outcomes for children in the borough. After retirement he continued his vocation, working as a consultant for Southwark Education Authority. Winston co-founded the Caribbean Volunteers Readers & Performers Project (CVRPP) in 1999, an initiative that grew out of the work of Herbie Yearwood, former Deputy High Commissioner in the Barbados High Commission, London, who was eager that the High Commission should take an active interest in the experience of Barbadian and other Caribbean heritage children in London’s schools.

The London Borough of Ealing and the black education movement in London bear the imprint of Willis Darnley Wilkie’s tireless struggle for children’s education rights and social justice. Born on the 3rd of October 1926, Willis was one of that early group of post-War migrants recruited from Barbados to come and work on London Transport. Arriving in 1955,he was to spend the following fifty-eight years of his life in public service; initially as a transport worker, then local government officer, social worker, teacher, community organiser, political activist and independent consultant. Like so many others of his generation, his life was spent within the crucible of British racism, an experience that defined the trajectory of his life and his achievements against all the odds. Willis became a social worker with Kensington & Chelsea and then in Ealing, and was highly respected among his colleagues and the entire community. Despite the demands of the job, he made time, with his late wife Edna Wilkie, to act as a one-man citizens advice bureau, law centre, housing and welfare rights service and education advocacy service. He firmly believed in collective action in pursuit of change in society and so pooled his skills and expertise with others. In 1975 he and others founded the Caribbean Parents Group which became a powerful voice and advocate for parents and students. That led in 1980 to the establishment of a Supplementary school. Willis and Edna played a major part in its creation and running over many years. He went on to run small support groups for young people, encouraging them to get training and pursue their careers. He was not only concerned with the social and educational wellbeing of the community, but also its economic disadvantage. Thus, he led the CPG in setting up a credit union in 1990 which operated successfully until 2012. WiIlis was twice nominated for a gong from the Queen and each time he refused, in part because he always felt his achievements were the result of collective effort. He did however, cherish the recognition of his local community. In March 2004 he was given the top prize in Ealing’s inaugural Pride in Our People Award: ‘for the massive difference he made in the lives of those around him’. Other awards, including awards in his name, and recognition have followed.

Humpback Whale vertebral plate. The shore whaling in Barbados started in 1867, primarily hunting humpback whales, which were known to frequent Barbados’ waters in the early part of each year as they migrate from the colder Northern waters of the Atlantic to warmer, Southern climates to mate and calve. The vertebral plate here is from a humpback whale captured in the early 1900s.
Used by Capt. Peter H. Delmare of the 3rd West India Regiment during an expedition between 1866-1867 in the British Honduras against indigenous Indian chiefs.
It was common for men to do weaving in West African countries. By means of heddle pulleys the weavers separate the warp threads into ‘fans’ by means of foot pedals. Then the weft threads are ‘shot through’ these ‘fans’. Thus, fabric is created. These heddle pulleys were often carved, and with this one, a face can be made out on one of the sides. Often the faces were of goddesses, so the weavers could look at beauty while they work. Sources: Smithsonian National Museum of African Art

Val McCalla arrived in England in May 1959, aged 15, with dreams of being a pilot. He joined the RAF, but his plans were soon grounded by a perforated eardrum. He spent five years in the supplies section, where he picked up book-keeping skills. After leaving the RAF in the mid-1960s, he worked in a variety of accounts and book-keeping positions, before volunteering to go part-time on a radical community newspaper, East End News, based near his flat in Bethnal Green. The newspaper bug took a grip, and, within a few years, the Voice had risen from idea into reality McCalla saw that Britain's national press gave scant coverage to black issues - and that when it did, it was usually negative. There were a couple of black-orientated publications which appealed to an older generation of Caribbean immigrants, whose notion of "home" lay thousands of miles away. But for a younger generation of British-born blacks, there was nothing. McCalla identified the emerging culture of the black British identity and honed it into tabloid form. Helped with start-up money from the Greater London Council, his paper quickly established itself as an important campaigner against all forms of racism. For local authorities, and voluntary sector organisations concerned about the lack of ethnic minorities in their ranks, it became a valuable recruitment tool. This led to pages of job advertising From a small, east London council flat in 1982, Val McCalla started the weekly newspaper, the Voice, which went on to become the mouthpiece of Britain's black community and made him a multi-millionaire. Launched at the Notting Hill carnival that August, it grew into the most popular and important black newspaper in this country. From initial sales of only 4,000, within eight years the Voice was selling more than 53,000 copies a week - and turning over a small fortune in job recruitment advertising.

For many hundreds of years Unst has lain in the midst of one of the richest fishing grounds in the world. The small wooden boats fished for cod and ling which were cleaned, split, salted and dried on the stony beaches. The dried fish were then shipped abroad in massive quantities. Boats like the sixereen ‘FAR HAAF’ were capable of fishing thirty miles off shore., while sturdy fourereens fished nearer the coast. With the onset of sudden storms there were disastrous results.

The tale is told that Taylor Hall was first occupied by 101 students, including 8 freshmen who moved from the old building of Gibraltar Hall on Gibraltar Camp Road to Blocks A and B, formally called Hall 111. These two blocks, the only two on Taylor Hall at the time, were soon joined by Block C in 1952, the same year the hall was officially opened. In this year, The Empire was granted the honour of being named after Sir Thomas Weston Johns Taylor, the first principal of the University College of the West Indies. The late Sir Sydney Martin would be named as the first warden of this great empire. By 1954, Block D had been constructed and fully occupied. From their chapel, the vanguards from Gibraltar had brought the bell – a continuous source of contention between the Empire of Tayloria and Chancellor Hall. In rivalry, Taylor Hall lost the bell, but this was soon replaced by another emblem – the cast iron ball. Taylor Hall since then has made the transition from the cast iron ball to the Pelican – still the insignia of The Empire to date. Blocks E, F and G, affectionately called ‘New Block’ were added to the Taylor Hall fraternity in 1962. Initially occupied by male residents, The Empire was graced with feminine elegance as ‘New Block’ became Excellencia , Falconia and Galaxia in 1965 as females, for the first time, lived on Taylor Hall . Erected were also the television room and the sub warden’s flat in 1963. The new university was completely residential for several years, and students developed strong connections within their halls of residence. Each hall, during the 1950s and 1960s, was fully stocked to cater for students’ room and board; including having their own marked crockery, cutlery etc which was used for meals which students took together.

This small figurine is a Taíno Zemi. A Pre-Columbian artefact from the Taíno people who inhabited the Caribbean centuries before the arrival of the Europeans around 1492. They were wiped out by European colonialism. This figurine was an important aspect of their culture, representing their religious beliefs. The zemis were modelled after Taíno deities and the Taíno would communicate with them through the inhalation of a hallucinogenic substance called cohoba, which they placed on top of the figurine's small bowl above its head. This figurine is a replica. The original zemi was excavated in Jamaica, and now resides in the British Museum, though not on display.
The tailor's goose iron was a long and thin iron, compared to its household counterpart, with handles that resemble that of a goose's neck. It was traditionally used by tailors for smoothing fabric and pressing seams. There were usually multiple irons in rotation: one in use and at least one other being heated over coals or stove. Early flat irons needed to be gripped with some sort of rag to avoid burns to the user's hand. Later designs incorporated methods of having cooler handles for example: a wooden handle.

A brown suitcase used for travel by a Barbadian. On one side of the item is a sticker with the acronym B.O.A.C, which stands for British Overseas Airways Corporation. This was the British state-owned airline created in 1939 by the merger of Imperial Airways and British Airways Ltd. It continued operating overseas services throughout World War II. It would eventually merge with the British European Airways (B.E.A) to become in 1971 the British Airways, which has been active to this day.

Scrapers made from a variety of materials were popular tools for Amerindian communities. Scrapers are typically formed by chipping the end of a flake of stone in order to create one sharp side and to keep the rest of the sides dull to facilitate grasping it. Most scrapers are either circle or blade-like in shape. The working edges of scrapers tend to be convex, and many have trimmed and dulled lateral edges to facilitate hafting. In Barbados, as the island is made of limestone and not volcanic rock, scrapers were usually made of conch shell. So it is likely that this stone scraper originated from another Caribbean country.

Sterling Betancourt was born 1 March 1930 in Laventille, Trinidad. In his early years, he was a member of one of the local Laventille Tamboo Bamboo bands until he became a tenor pan player in Tripoli steel band. He later progressed to become a band member and the tuner for Crossfire, a steel band he was more notably associated to during the 1940s. His skills on the pans earned him selection for TASPO (The Trinidad All-Steel Pan Percussion Orchestra) which was formed to participate in the Festival of Britain in 1951. This tour became a defining point in his career as he decided to remain in England with his pan and promote this new found musical art form. In 1952, Sterling Betancourt joined forces with a fellow Trinidadian musician, pianist Russell Henderson, to record some of Henderson’s piano music. Later the Russ Henderson Steel Band was formed along with Mervyn Constantine. A defining point for the band came in 1964 when the band was invited to play at the opening of a Children’s Carnival in Notting Hill. The invite came from Rhaune Laslette, a Notting Hill resident and local social worker, who was organising the event. In keeping up with the tradition of the Trinidad carnival at that time, the steel band began an impromptu march through the streets, enticing some of the onlookers to take part in the procession. This led to the start of the Notting Hill Carnival in 1965 with steel band music as the music of choice. Betancourt has taken Pan to many countries throughout Europe and Asia and as recognition for his contribution he was awarded Trinidad and Tobago’s Scarlet Ibis award, a University of East London Fellowship, an MBE (Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) and made a member of FRSA for his commitment in promoting steelpan culture throughout the United Kingdom, and pioneering steelpan projects in English schools
Stephen Wiltshire MBE HON FSAI HON FSSAA
For over 30 years, the name Stephen Wiltshire has been synonymous with finely-detailed, vigorous pen and ink drawings of the world’s great cities. These drawings – often drawn from memory and at a great speed -are sketched on the spot at street level ,drawn from the top of skyscrapers or sometimes made after whistle-stop helicopter rides over the city. Stephen regularly travels all over the world on private and public commissions, the most famous of which are his ten city panoramas drawn from memory. His talent is even more incredible considering that he was diagnosed with autism when he was three years old. Born in London in 1974, Stephen was mute as a small child, and found it hard to relate to other people. At the age of five, he was sent to Queensmill School, London, where it soon became apparent that he communicated through the language of drawing. His teachers encouraged him to speak by temporarily taking away his art materials; eventually he uttered his first words – “paper” and “pencil” Oust like Picasso) – but didn’t learn to speak fully until the age of nine. As soon as Stephen’s school started to enter his art into competitions, news of his talent began to spread. Early fans included the late Prime Minister Edward Heath, who bought his drawing of Salisbury Cathedral, made when Stephen was eight. Stephen came to wider public attention when the BBC featured him in the programme, ‘The Foolish Wise Ones’ in 1987, when he was introduced by Sir Hugh as “the best child artist in Britain”. In 2005, he was commissioned to undertake vast panoramic drawings of ten world cities and in 2006 Stephen was recognised for his services to the art world, when he was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire. That year Stephen and his family opened a permanent art gallery in London’s historic Royal Opera Arcade.
