Black History Month: Home
Description
This site will celebrate BHM all year round. We will regularly update it and use it to educate, inform, and build confidence. Let's celebrate and share our African and Caribbean history.
The origins of BHM go back to 1926 when Carter G Woodson, editor for thirty years of the Journal of Negro History, established African Caribbean celebrations in America. It is still celebrated there in February each year. In Britain, the BHM has now grown to over 1400 events.
The focus on African and Caribbean heritage pre-dates the work of London Strategic Policy Unit who, as part of the African Jubilee year in 1987, helped to establish the event.
