About

October is designated nationally as Black History Month in the United Kingdom to relive, discuss and celebrate the contributions and achievements of people of black heritage to the United Kingdom and the world.

This is done because history has tended not to highlight the achievements of people of black heritage.

As we celebrate this month we are able to  acknowlwdge the contributions of people of black heritage and bring their stories to the forefront of activity and learning.

This teaches young people that there are other voices and other stories byond what is predominantly featured in the mainstream.

The aim of this project is to showcase the films which have been produced on six professionals in Milton Keynes to ensure their stories are not forgotton. So that when history is written their names are mentioned. That way the future will see value in the presence of black people because they know they contributed to the development of this town. 

History favours the victor, but there is always another side to the story. We must insist on the whole story and not settle for one story.
