David Olusoga is the presenter of the BBC History series Black and British: A Forgotten History. He's shown here standing in the ruins of the slave fortress on Bunce Island.
Bunce Island lies in the Sierra Leone river and was a place where slaves were imprisoned, bought and sold.
One of the companies that used to run Bunce Island was the Royal Africa Company whose Governor was the future Stuart King, James Duke of York.
The money earned from places like Bunce Island flowed back to London.
The series is part of a wider Black and British season of programming on the BBC and exploring the rich culture and history of black Britain.
