#OnThisDay in 1966 New Beacon Books released its first publication: Foundations by John La Rose. La Rose, a poet, activist, and publisher, was originally from Trinidad and Tobago. He and partner Sarah White founded New Beacon to focus on the work of Caribbean writers (later expanded to include Black authors from around the world). New Beacon is still in operation as the only Black independent publisher and bookseller in the UK. #HistoryGetsLIT
