Black History Month 2024: Reclaiming Narratives
We are proud to celebrate Black History Month – an annual celebration of the lives and achievements of Black people in Britain.
The theme for this year is Reclaiming Narratives and marks a significant shift towards recognising and correcting the narratives of Black History and culture.
Join us as we celebrate the rich heritage, spotlight the untold stories and celebrate the diverse experiences of our Black communities here in Westminster.
Reflecting on Black History and the future of Westminster
This video celebrates Black history and the diverse communities of Westminster while posing challenging questions about representation, inclusion, and the ongoing struggles for equality.
It showcases the contributions of Black individuals and other groups that have shaped the area, inviting viewers to reflect on how the past continues to influence the present. The video pays tribute to the unity and resilience of these communities while encouraging meaningful conversations on how we can move forward toward a more inclusive future.
