Of this important annual celebration, Professor David Olusoga, OBE, added: 鈥淪ince its introduction into Britain in 1987, Black History Month has come of age. Thanks to the efforts of campaigners, historians, activists and teachers 鈥� often working at a local level 鈥� Black Britons have managed to inscribe their history back into our shared national story, overcoming centuries of selective amnesia. It is important we celebrate Black history but also that we recognise that making Black History Month into what it is today is in itself an enormous achievement.鈥�
