The following is about the Black diaspora in Europe, with a focus on England, came out a number of yrs ago, If you have some downtime and want to binge watch some interesting lectures on the African diaspora, you can't lose with the following.
Black Britannica: Diversity in Medieval and Early Modern England
Africans have been present in England for more than two thousand years, but we rarely see them or hear about them. And often their existence is dismissed as a figment of 'political correctness' or 'wokism.'
This lecture will critically assess the myth of England's story as a 'sacred white space' and examine the evidence for diversity in medieval and early modern history. Africans are integral to English history and forgetting this diminishes Englishness, by preventing us from understanding ourselves.
A lecture by Dr Onyeka Nubia.
Also from the Gresham Collage , I suggest getting the book pretty good read.
Black Tudors: Three Untold Stories.
Dr Kaufmann tells the intriguing tales of three Africans living in Tudor England: a diver, a Moroccan woman and a porter.

Dr Kaufmann tells the intriguing tales of three Africans living in Tudor England – Jacques Francis, a diver employed by Henry VIII to recover guns from the wreck of the Mary Rose; Mary Fillis, a Moroccan woman baptized in Elizabethan London; and Edward Swarthye, a porter who whipped a fellow servant at their master's Gloucestershire manor house. Their stories illuminate key issues: – how did they come to England? What were their lives like? How were they treated by the church and the law? Most importantly: were they free?
