Black History Events in London #BlackHistoryMonth
We are half way through the month of October which means Black History Month will soon be coming to an end. There are hundreds of events that take place throughout the month to educate us on the history of black people.
There is so much going on in and around London but sometimes we miss out because it is not within the scope of our social media audience. Use search engines to explore what activities there are, visit your local gallery to inquire about current exhibitions or future ones. Subscribe to BlackHistorymonth.org.uk to stay updated.
Here are some recommended events to attend for Black History month formulated by the Guap Team.
