This teaching resource explores three different topics covered within the book Sharing the Past. These mini-teaching packs are intended to provide materials for one or two lessons either as a lead into or as part of a wider general topic. The packs relate to different periods in the past in order to promote the integration of a black dimension in both the recent and distant past as part of our multicultural society and wider world.

Sharing the Past: Northamptonshire Black History has been written by fifteen members and supporters of the Northamptonshire Black History Association. It presents an overview of the county's links to the wider world, and especially to Africa, the Caribbean and the Indian sub-continent. Fully illustrated in colour, this 150-page book is the first publication telling a rich variety of local Black History stories and setting them in historical context. It is also the first local Black History book which links together evidence from the distant past with the more recent histories of local communities with African and Asian roots.
