TFL launches first ever tube map highlighting London's black icons

The video discusses the launch of the first-ever Black Tube Map during Black History Month. This map replaces the names of 272 tube stations with notable Black Britons, spanning from Roman times to the present. The project was a collaboration between TfL and the Black Cultural Archives, involving extensive research to highlight over 280 individuals. The map serves as an educational tool, encouraging people to explore and connect with Black British history. It is an artistic interpretation aimed at engaging the public, especially during school breaks.
