A County Durham event has been named one of the highlights of Black History Month.
Black History Month has taken place every October since 1987. Its aim is to reflect upon slavery and colonisation in British history, the Windrush generation, while showcasing the work of today's Black British creatives.
And a double bill performance at the Durham Gala Theatre is recommended as one of the country's top highlights to mark the occasion. Say it Loud and Black Sun by Ballet Black are a double bill, with the first part aiming to chart the struggles and inspiration behind the formation of the company, from the uncomfortable reasons behind its existence, to creating a repertoire and building up its reputation as a necessary part of the British ballet industry.
