'Brown Babies': A Shared Evening
Senate House
9 July 2026
Free
An evening at Senate House bringing together former residents of Holnicote House, the Somerset home that sheltered Britain's so-called Brown Babies, children born to Black American GIs and white British mothers during the Second World War. Panellists share memory rather than headline, the quiet stuff of identity and belonging. Free to attend, a story worth every minute spent.
