Books
John Blanke is the first person of African descent in British history for whom we have both an image and a record. He was a Black trumpeter to the courts of Henry VII and Henry VIII. Inspired by this enigmatic figure, Michael Ohajuru invited over 100 artists and historians to imagine John Blanke's world.
