We are working with Benjamin’s family, in the Benjamin Zephaniah Legacy Group, as well as the wider Birmingham environment, residential, and poetry community groups.
Black History Month featured The Zephaniah Forest in their wonderful article, celebrating Benjamin as a key figure for a multitude of uncountable reasons, leading to his lasting legacy and commemoration through his love of nature.
