Boris Johnson, Mayor of London

Enjoy this year’s BHM season

Black History Season highlights the importance of education and the need to be inspired and learn from others.

“IT is with great pleasure that I welcome Black History Season to London. History is a fascinating subject that we should all truly relish.

Black History Season highlights the importance of education and the need to be inspired and learn from others. It also promotes the historical role and the huge contribution of African and Caribbean communities to the capital, which will be of interest to all Londoners.

This year there is a fantastic range of activities and events on offer across the city in libraries, theatres, galleries and educational institutions. At City Hall I am supporting a number of exciting lectures and exhibitions themed around the 60th anniversary of the arrival of Empire Windrush, which celebrates and explores this significant period in our city’s history and culture.
I hope everyone enjoys this year’s Black History Season celebrations.”

Boris Johnson
