Black History Month Events at The Historic Dockyard Chatham
The Historic Dockyard Chatham is hosting a range of events during October to celebrate Black History Month.
Black History Month provides a fantastic opportunity to recognise the outstanding contributions people of African and Caribbean descent have made to our country over many generations.
Black history is felt, lived, and made every day.
We’ve pulled together just some of the resources you can engage with during October and beyond.
