St Pauls Carnival library
Carnival is history, culture and people. carnival is community.
We’ve collated resources and learnings on Black history, Carnival history and a lot of things in between. Here is a handy list of videos, essays, articles and slices of history. We’ve popped them in one place so they don’t get lost in time.
This is St Pauls history, Bristol’s past, present and future. This is the story of Carnival and our community today.
Read, share, learn and grow.
