| Summary: | Historian Tony Warner shows how you can discover where to find Black History in your town or city. Here Tony uncovers the African influence in a typical city square. It's something you ll find in many English squares, cemeteries and memorials; it's got spiritual significance; and it's an ancient African design. You can find imitation obelisks like this one all around Britain, most often in key locations. The original obelisks date back thousands of years to Africa where they were placed outside temples, probably as symbols of rebirth; so it's interesting that they now commonly appear in cemeteries and in particular at war memorials. Can you find an obelisk near you? Why is it there? |
