A vibrant and fun afternoon of acknowledging and celebrating Black History directly in the heart of Brighton: an event for people of all ages. Doors open at 2pm and there will be a Gospel music performance by Kingdom Choir prior to the official welcome by Cllr Simon Burgess and the launch of the logo competition. Following this there will be a West African Dance and Drumming Performance. Throughout the afternoon there will be various activities, the majority of which will take place outdoors.

These activities include:
  • the sale of West African, Caribbean and Asian food
  • face painting (courtesy of MOSAIC Black and Mixed Parentage Family Group)

The programme of events for Black History Month 2006 in Brighton & Hove is almost ready...

This is an opportunity for all organisations that support the aims of Black History Month but are not in a position to put on events themselves to publicly demonstrate their commitment.

One page of the programme will be headed: "Wishing you every success for Black History Month"
We still have space to add logos under this heading, from various organisations willing to make a financial contribution. 10,000 copies of the programme will be produced.

Please act fast if you are interested

For a minimum donation of £50 we will include your logo in the programme of events for Black History Month 2006 in Brighton & Hove. The size of the logo appearing in the programme will be approximately 3cm x 4cm.
