Working independently, they each photographed aspects of the experiences of black Londoners between the 1960s and 1980s. Francis was a fashion and advertising photographer interested in documenting the African diaspora in a positive way; Phillips photographed the everyday lives of people in his community, especially in Notting Hill; Kenlock, a member of the British Black Panther Movement, photographed for the weekly newspaper, West Indian World, and then co-founded Root Magazine. The Museum of London displayed these works in its 2005 exhibition 'Roots to Reckoning' and is keen to build up its photography collection depicting London's black community.
