Black History Month (BHM) is held every October in Britain. The aims are to promote knowledge of Black History and experience...
As part of this celebration there is the ubiquitous "top 100" count down for voting at www.100greatblackbritons.com
What I found of interest was that over 10% of the list has a connection (some admittedly slight) to Birmingham and I suspect a fair few more have connection to the Midlands. The ones I found are:
Bill Morris
Professor Stuart Hall
Phil Lynott
Baroness Valerie Amos
Frank Bruno
Joan Armatrading - see also https://forum.birminghamhistory.co.uk/showthread.php?t=10394&p=349097#post349097
William Cuffay
Colin Jackson
Lord John Taylor
Dr. O.A. Lyseight
Olaudah Equiano - see also https://forum.birminghamhistory.co.uk/showthread.php?t=32274
It would be interesting if anyone has reminiscences, thoughts, researches, pictures, videos to share on these or any others missed.
