Black History Month runs throughout October and is a significant month to celebrate the culture, history and achievements that Black African and Caribbean people have brought to the United Kingdom.
The rich cultures and traditions of the Black community here have for many years contributed to the diversity of our country and is a fundamental part of what makes Britain, and Barking and Dagenham, so unique.
