Our blog piece below celebrates Marika's achievements and reflects on our time with her last summer. YHP would like to extend our deepest condolences to Marika’s family and friends. Rest in power.

In August 2024, YHP interviewed Marika for our project exploring the development of Black British history as a concept and academic field. It was an immense pleasure to hear so many stories about her books, travels, activism, and teaching career.

Marika helped found the Black and Asian Studies Association (BASA) alongside Hakim Adi, the founder and consultant historian of YHP.

Florence expands on this further by disentangling the racist myths perpetuated by the British government. She urges that education and action are critical in changing the racism and subjugation we face #EachOneTeachOne✊🏿

Additionally, Deanna, a former member of YHP, did an episode on the New Cross Fire on her podcast 'The History Hotline', which you can listen to by clicking on the link below #OTD #EachOneTeachOne✊🏿:

The New Cross Fire displayed the indifference shown by the British government and media and how they treat the loss of Black lives. To this day, no one has been charged in relation to the fire #OTD #EachOneTeachOne✊🏿
