Black Welsh people
Black Welsh people are inhabitants of Wales who have an African or a Caribbean background. Wales is home to one of the United Kingdom's oldest Afro communities, and Tiger Bay in Cardiff has housed a large Somalian population from the municipality's inception. The 2011 census reported there were 18,276 Welsh African people, amounting to 0.6% of the Welsh population.
Some famous Welsh African people include Shirley Bassey,[1] Vaughan Gething,[2] member of the National Assembly for Wales, Colin Jackson, and Benji Webbe.
