Black History is celebrated throughout the month of October. In October 2018 and October 2019 there was one event that was exceptional – the Black History Activity Book Launch. This free event attracted over 5,000 attendees and over 167 various businesses, organisations, and independent vendors, such as Prostate Cancer UK, West Bromwich African Caribbean Resource Centre, The Black Country Living Museum, Birmingham Crisis Centre and South & City College, just to mention a few.
Andrew Lindo, the organiser of these non-funded and non-profit events, is also the founder of Newborn Design, writer, Illustrator, graphic designer and self-publisher of the Black History Activity Books states “The event has run for two years with support from an outstanding volunteer team. An event like this is needed not only to showcase various Black Businesses under one roof, it offers them a networking platform, the opportunity to showcase their products, exhibit their services to attendees, who would otherwise be unaware of them, and brings together a diverse community”.
This year The Official Black History Activity Book Launch and Expo 3.0 makes its return after lockdown. Andrew alongside his team of volunteers, will be hosting the event on Saturday, 1st October 2022 at The New Bingley Hall and would like to hear from organisations within the Voluntary and Third Sector who may wish to be involved.
