On Thursday 6 December we shall be celebrating the launch of our new title: Dream to Change the World: The Life and Legacy of John La Rose - The Book of the Exhibition. Edited by Sarah Garrod, Nicole-Rachelle Moore and Sarah White, the book brings you as close as possible to the 2015 exhibition which ran for three months at Islington Museum.

November is here and the GPI is already in the throes of busy times!

On Friday 19 October we welcomed over 20 Year 5 students from Stroud Green Primary School as part of our ongoing outreach work.

We welcomed school children from the local area into the institute today!

Ashmount Primary School enthusiastically participated in the first of two outreach schools events planned by the GPI and New Beacon Books.

We are celebrating the win of a £10,000 grant from the Nisa chain of grocery stores under its registered charity Making a Difference Locally (MADL). Sharmilla Beezmohun, one of the GPI's trustees, is the one we thank for this slice of success as she fortuitously noticed the call for applications from local charity/community bodies. MADL marked its 10th anniversary by donating £10,000 each to 10 organizations and Sharmilla completed a winning application on our behalf!  

We have been collaborating periodically with the group Everyday Muslim (EM) for over a year as part of their project The Heritage Story of Black British Muslims in London.The project is almost at its end and the GPI is pleased to have been able to assist with training volunteers from EM in archiving, through workshops led by our archivist Sarah Garrod.What is exciting and gratifying for us at the GPI is the group's decision to deposit the completed material here at the institute.
