Black History Month: a time of reflection, fostering inclusion and integration

By CANON VICTOR DARLINGTON

October is a month when we, as a country, celebrate Black History Month. As many of us know, Black History Month began over 100 years ago in the United States. In the United Kingdom, it was first recognised and celebrated in 1987 to acknowledge and honour over 150 years of Caribbean emancipation from slavery and the 25th anniversary of the Organisation of African Unity.
