October 1 marks the start of Black History Month in the UK. A time to commemorate Black history, celebrate the contributions and achievements of Black people in UK, and educate ourselves on the struggles and joys of Black culture.
Black History Month is celebrated across the world, although in different months (for example in February in the US), as an opportunity to reflect on the past while striving towards a better, less prejudiced future. There will be lots of events going on to mark it – from foodie and music festivals, to informative talks and workshops.
