Newham Black History Month
To mark Black History Month, Newham Council has curated a programme of events responding to the theme of Strength, Courage, Determination.
Explore a month of virtual and live events that explore the adversity that Black people have faced and how their strength, courage and determination has shaped society throughout history.
