Black History Month
Black History Month runs throughout October celebrating the culture, history and achievements that Black African and Caribbean people have brought to the United Kingdom
This year's theme: Honouring Our Communities
This year's Black History Month theme, ‘Honouring Our Communities’, celebrates the people whose everyday contributions help shape, support and strengthen Black communities across the UK.
Across Barking and Dagenham, a wide range of events and activities are being delivered by the Council, community organisations, and local partners. This programme highlights some of the opportunities taking place throughout October for residents to come together, learn, celebrate and reflect.

Hall of Fame
As part of this year's celebrations, we will also be revisiting LBBD's Black History Month Hall of Fame, which recognises local people who have made a positive and lasting contribution to the borough.
Throughout October, we will be spotlighting previous Hall of Fame entrants on our social media channels, sharing their stories and celebrating their achievements. We encourage everyone to take a look and rediscover some of the inspiring individuals who have helped shape our communities.
