Celebrating Black History Month in Barnet

This October marks the 35th Black History Month (BHM), a national awareness campaign which recognises and celebrates the contributions of Black people to the economic, cultural and political life in the UK.

“The theme for Black History Month this year is Time for Change: Action Not Words. In that spirit, we want to focus on ensuring we acknowledge and learn from the past, but also work to improve the future, through action, not just words.”,
Cllr Linda Lusingu.

Statement from BMFF on the death of Queen Elizabeth II

 

We are saddened at the news that our Queen has died. God rest her soul. In her Christmas broadcasts she regularly revealed the personal Christian faith that guided her life. She showed respect for the different faiths of the world. Our Forum has been always encouraged in its work of promoting interfaith dialogue and action in Barnet by her lead and faith.

We pass on our condolences to the members of her family.

God save the King.
