Every year in October, Croydon joins the rest of the UK in celebrating black history month.Croydon BME Forum are working with Croydon Council and PALACE FOR LIFE FOUNDATION to create the marquee event to celebrate Black History Month in Croydon.
The theme of this year’s Black History Month is “HEROES TO HERITAGE”.
This is our 5th year celebrating Black history month acknowledging those who have gone before us in history to make marvellous contributions to the world, as well as celebrating those who continue to do so in order to inspire a new generation of leaders.
2017 – Celebrating Communities – a tribute to Black Institutions
2016 – Young Achievers
2015 – Women in Leadership
2014 – History for Tomorrow
This year we wanted to mix it up, make it a little different by having an inter-generational group come together to identify the theme, locate speakers and suggest creative ideas for launch.
The events programme for black history month includes workshops, exhibitions, talks, conferences, performances, matches film screenings and more across the borough.
Croydon’s events compliment a wider programme of activities nationally.
