Cambridge Black Advisory Hub

Before sugar, indigo was Louisiana’s cash crop Enslaved Africans and high quality seeds from Haiti led to massive indigo exports from Louisiana to Europe. Plantations grew indigo alongside rice fields.

It was an honour and a pleasure to be invited to the Second Annual Vincent Lumsden Society Dinner. This evening was dedicated to celebrating the life and legacy of Vincent Roy Lumsden, one of the first Black Caribbean students to attend Emmanuel College, and a reminder of the history and presence of Black scholars at Cambridge.

Spaces like this matter. Being in a room filled with Black students, alumni, staff and friends of the community was a powerful moment to celebrate Black existence at Cambridge. It allows us to reflect on those who came before us and create space to share our stories while imagining our futures.

So thank you to for continuing to make space for Blackness to be celebrated at Cambridge!
