Derived from Carter G. Woodson’s ‘Negro History Week’, Black History Month is a time of celebration, reflection and utmost appreciation. It’s a time when we can look back on the struggles and hardships faced by our ancestors and humble ourselves when we compare that to the lives we’re able to lead today.

As well as this it gives us an opportunity to share our feelings, culture, food, music… our everything, with people from other races. Popular activities include educating children about prominent black figures in history, taking Martin Luther King Jr. as an example, celebrating the lives and achievements of activists like Malcolm X, festivals, galleries, museum open days and spreading the message to those around us.
