Let's celebrate and share our African and Caribbean history
Black History Month (BHM) is held every October in Britain, and February in USA and Canada.
The origins of BHM go back to 1926 when Carter G Woodson, editor for thirty years of the Journal of Negro History, established African Caribbean celebrations in America. It is still celebrated there in February each year. In Britain, the BHM has now grown to over 6,000 events.
Apart from the promotion of Black History, Cultural and Heritage, the main objective for BHM in the UK is to disseminate information on positive Black contributions to British Society.
