For the last 30 years, October has been celebrated as UK Black History Month. The Official website is full of history, national events, articles and even TV listings of documentaries celebrating the UK’s Black heritage.

On a local level, The Brighton and Hove Black History Group was launched in 2002 with the colossal job of amassing the rich Black History in our city.  On their website you can read the different stories they have brought together as well as contribute your own stories.

During this month there will be lots of events celebrating UK Black History Month 2009, here in Brighton and Hove, which you can find by checking out their Events Program.
