A poem by the Munirah Theatre Company urging Black people living in Britain to treasure their history gives this video its title. The basis of Munirah's work is self-esteem, education and growth. This all-woman company draws on oral traditions, observation and personal experience to create “choreopoems” – fusions of words, dance and music – which express their views on Black life in Britain today.
