A historian - known only as Kwaku - is giving an audio-visual presentation on the first black mayor of a London council.

The history consultant will be speaking on how John Archer became the mayor of Battersea 100 years ago.

The Black Politics talk will look at his range of activities in Battersea, which is now incorporated in the borough of Wandsworth.

It will also detail his pan-Africanism, as well as his work as an agent for an Asian elected MP for Battersea North in 1922 and 1924.

The Labour activist's work is regarded as sowing the seeds of the party's Black Sections over half a century earlier, talking about issues such as reparations long before it took hold in the 1990s.

He attended the 1900 pan-African conference, leading the way for African British civil rights.

Details will be given on the pan-Africanism movement - an ideology which encourages the solidarity of Africans worldwide.

Kwaku developed the presentation as part of the series Naming and Role Models (NARM) African British Role Models 1907-2007.

Past presentations on other African British role models include Dr Harold Moody, Henry Sylvester Williams and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.

The family-friendly event has been organised by BTWSC, a Brent based organisation which promotes social inclusion and focuses on under represented people.
