The importance of an honest narrative of British history | Dyar Hussain | TEDxBrighton

In this powerful talk, academic Dyar explores the importance of telling an honest narrative of British history. Through the lens of key historical events, social movements and cultural shifts, Dyar traces how small acts of resistance have sparked major change — and why facing uncomfortable truths about how Britain built its empire is essential to understanding the present. With clarity and care, he unpacks the stories we’ve inherited, the voices often left out, and the myths that still shape our national identity. This is not about rewriting history, but about revealing it — honestly, fully, and with a sense of responsibility. Dyar’s talk is a compelling call to reckon with the past, not to dwell in guilt, but to grow in understanding — and to build a future rooted in truth.
