How Black History Month Began in the UK

Akyaaba shares insights on the transformation of Black History Month from 'Negro History Week' initiated in the US and officially recognised in 1976 by President Gerald Ford. The guest, Addai-Sebo, recounts personal involvement in promoting Black History Month and organising activities emphasising Africa's contribution to world civilisations. The discussion also covers the guest's involvement in Ghana during the 1980s, the struggles faced, and eventual escape due to political pressures. The narrative highlights the impact of educational and cultural programs initiated to address identity issues among African-descended children in the UK and the sustained effort to establish Black History Month in London with support from local leaders and communities. 00:00 5-How Black History Month Began in the UK 05:15 Establishing Black History Month in the UK 06:27 A Mother's Heartbreak 07:24 Systemic Failures and Identity Crisis 08:33 Taking Action: Celebrating African Contributions 08:51 Organising Historical Lectures and Concerts 10:53 Solidarity and Cultural Exchange
