It demonstrates that although there were often tensions, prejudices and competition between minority groups, there have also been many incidences of co-operation, mutual learning and support. There are 24 panels on Black, Asian and Jewish history; the fight against racism; histories of oppression; literature and language, food, comedy and music. It especially covers the cities of Cardiff, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Southampton, and of course London.
The exhibition is touring to various venues around the UK, including London, until 2007. After that there may still be other opportunities for for schools, museums and other venues to use the exhibition for free. It is especially aimed at 11 - 13 year olds. What is striking about the exhibition is that it does not just deal with 20th century history, but traces back Black and Asian, as well as Jewish people in the UK for hundreds of years.
You can read further resources on the exhibition, including pdfs of the exhibition itself, on the Connections website.
