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 1400 events.
The focus
on African and Caribbean heritage pre-dates the work of London Strategic Policy
Unit who, as part of the African Jubilee year in 1987, helped to establish the
event. 
There will be a form in the back of church for those of us who want to join in this event and take OUR children FREE!
