Afroliverpool is run by the Heritage Development Company also known as HDCL.
The Heritage Development Company aims to compile and promote the history of people of Black origins in Liverpool and its environs and their relationship with the local population.To make better sense of the present situation of black people in the city, it is important to understand why they came here, how long they have lived in the city, what brought them here and what challenges they faced.
About Us
What we do
We collect and collate information, including testimonies, archives and artefacts, highlighting black people’s contribution to the social, sporting, economic, political, creative, cultural and everyday life of the city.
With this information we hope to enable people to discover their heritage and encourage everyone to have a deeper appreciation and understanding of Liverpool’s diverse history across time.The collection, preservation and access of material should empower people to explore their heritage and to share their stories for the benefit of themselves and other communities.
