Black History, Empire and Commonwealth By: Matilda Hardman What is Black History Month and how can I take part?
Black History Month is an annual celebration which originated in the United States and is also known as African-American History Month. It honours Black people’s struggles and contributions to the country which might not have been recognised the rest of the year. So, many people learn and celebrate Black History Month in the US but how is Black History portrayed in Britain? This Black History Month, it is important for us all to remember those who gave their lives so people of all races and diversities could live as equals, not only in America, but also in the UK.
