History Month
Everyone benefits from mutual recognition and regard to promote understanding and sharing and to build stronger communities. BCCA recognises the need for wider awareness of the UK’s history both locally and nationally.
Our History Month provides space for perspectives from heritages of peoples of African, Caribbean and Asian descent. Leaving heritage and legacies unheard, unseen, disavowed and erased is anti-social and anti- community.
We live in a city where over 300 languages and where 40.2% of residents identify with either Asian, Black, Mixed or Other ethnic group.
Our History Month is an opportunity to generate recognition of others’ heritages towards promoting long lasting community values.
