Walsall Arena

The council’s fostering service and local charity, Walsall’s Black Sisters Collective (WBSC), are hosting an event to mark the awareness month.

Held during October each year, Black History Month gives everyone the opportunity to share, celebrate and understand the impact of Black heritage and culture.

The theme of Black History Month 2024 is ‘reclaiming narratives’, which is calling for Black communities across the UK to step into the role of storytelling and share inspiring stories about Black culture and identity.

The council’s event will run from 11:30am until 4:30pm, is free to attend, and will include singing, dancing, choir performances, live poetry, t-shirt making and refreshments.
