Inspired Histories

​My name is Linford Sweeney and I have been a Black History Educator for more than past sixteen years. It all begun with my mother (may she rest in eternal peace) who instilled within me a passion for family history. In turn, history became a fascination and hobby and later, within my local community, I started teaching others.

As more and more people wanted to know about Black history, I obliged by delivering classes, workshops, talks, and later on courses. I addition, I advised, managed, or consulted on several initiatives, including the 70th anniversary of the 1945 Pan-African Congress held in Manchester.

Since then, I have physically delivered education programmes throughout England, written articles, appeared on radio programmes, created books and booklets for charities, written and published two books, contributed to several published books, and used the Zoom and Teams platforms to reach people across the world, including Africa, the Caribbean, and the USA.

My programmes have been delivered to:
NHS
Local authorities
Probation Services
Universities
Colleges
Schools
Trade unions
Churches
Community organisations and charities
and many other agencies

Today, my business, INSPIRED HISTORIES, has been in operation for more than six years!
