Black History Month was first celebrated in the United Kingdom in 1987. This October brings another year of events in Leicester and across the country, hoping to inspire, encourage reflection and engage you in creating history there and then. Black History. Inclusive History. Peaceful History.
This year is dedicated to theme of policy, practice and social justice and focused on celebration of life and work of South African Social Rights activist - Desmond Tutu, who frequently took part in discussion of homosexuality and belief within the community.
