Bradford: City of Culture but minus the Black community Bradford’s Manningham once had a thriving Black neighbourhood. Today, as the council celebrates being crowned UK City of Culture for 2025, we ask: why have we disappeared? By Jenny Steel
Bradford’s Manningham once had a thriving Black neighbourhood. Today, as the council celebrates being crowned UK City of Culture for 2025, we ask: why have we disappeared? By Jenny SteelPUBLICITY SUPPORTING Bradford’s bid to be the UK City of Culture for 2025 featured Black people representing the racial diversity of the city.The Manningham neighbourhood, in particular, was known as a vibrant centre of the Black community, but today it is very different.
The black Caribbean community has played a key role in Bradford’s recent multicultural past, particularly the contribution from the Windrush generation. This was during a period of heightened tensions in Bradford following the riots of 1995 and various spates of violence between the Black, white and ethnic communities. ONS figures support Victor’s perspective, in the 90s Caribbean Bradfordians made up just below one per cent of the population. That number fell to half a percent 30 years later; despite the rest of the country seeing a slight increase in black Caribbean populations.
BD25 say they are hoping their policies, team and board represent the district and the best interests of their audiences, artists and funders.
