As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, the two notable black lords in the House of Lords are Lord Boateng and Lord Simon Woolley. Lord Boateng, who served as a Labour MP and was the first black person to become a government minister in the UK, was appointed to the House of Lords in 2010. Lord Simon Woolley, a prominent campaigner for racial equality and founder of Operation Black Vote, was made a life peer in 2020.
