}} The Africa Centre is a historic space in the centre of London that was acquired by Cardinal Hinsley Memorial Trust of the Catholic Church in the early 1960s for the people of Africa, friends of Africa and the African Diaspora. Since its foundation in 1964, as a home-away-from-home and cultural hub, the site has played a pivotal role in maintaining and projecting the culture of all Africans, as well as a central meeting point for many anti-colonial and apartheid intellectuals, artists and activists from pre-independent African states.
