Liverpool's Black community dates back to the early 1700s and to mark Black History Month the ECHO has compiled a list of some of our city's Black heroes.
These people have contributed and supported Liverpool's wider communities in a variety of ways through dedication to helping and inspiring others.
Black History Month in the UK is celebrated each October, with events set to take place celebrating and documenting the people's lives across the country. If you want to find out more about Black History Month, visit their official website here.
