Legendary newsreader and journalist Sir Trevor McDonald has joined forces with Amazon’s Alexa to celebrate Black History Month 2022. The aim of this partnership is to share untold empowering stories from black British history through the narration of the broadcasting icon.
Amazon has collaborated with some of the UK’s best-selling black authors to bring a selection of powerful black British stories to Alexa. These feature tales about Claudia Jones, the founder of Notting Hill Carnival, British designer Althea McNish and Evelyn Dove, the first black singer to feature on BBC Radio.
They are available to listen to from today (October 1) and are all narrated by Sir Trevor McDonald. Alexa users can hear these stories simply by asking: “Alexa, tell me a story about black British history”, to which the familiar tones of Sir Trevor will reply.
