Black History Month
The Kenyan Community
Bedford young people’s club celebrated the Black History Month on 30th
October at the Bedford Museum in Bedford. The event included African story
telling, costume, drumming, dancing and a variety of African foods. The event
was organised by the Bedford African Support project in conjunction with the
Bedford Museum.
Black History Month happens
every October in the UK and provides a wonderful occasion to celebrate the
diversity of our society and the contributions Black and Asian men and women
have made to the development of British society, technology, economy and
culture. There is no one who has overall responsibility for coordinating or
arranging Black History Month. Today nearly 6,000 events and activities are run
throughout the country by a range of organisations. One of the main aims is to
heighten the confidence and awareness of Black people to their cultural
heritage.
