BLACK History Month is being celebrated again in Worcester with music, poetry and dance.
‘Worcester’s Our Cultural Heritage’ is a free event taking place at the Guildhall on Saturday October 18 between 11am and 3pm.
There will be a welcome from Worcester mayor Dr Matt Lamb before the iconic building is filled with music, poetry and dancing from different Black cultures and communities.
There will also be free food to sample along with workshops, social history exhibitions, kids craft activities and talks.
Last year saw the second Guildhall event, which drew a large crowd. It was hosted by Worcester City Council, alongside members of the community including Worcester Afro Caribbean Association, Association of Igbos in Worcestershire and Worcester Anti Racism Initiative groups.
Building on the success of the very first event, volunteers and attendees joined together to form Worcestershire Black Cultural Association. Involving pensioners, professionals, families and students, this new association is led by local people who share the aim of celebrating their Black heritage and culture in Worcester.
WBCA has worked closely with the City Council to organise this year’s event, with the continued support of the other cultural associations.
