We believe that Black History Month provides an excellent opportunity to raise awareness of the rich history of black people in the UK and indeed across the world.
To commemorate this first Black History Month with a black person holding the highest political office in the world, Diverse magazine has designed a series of Black History posters featuring significant black pioneers that have contributed immensely to black history.

In addition Diverse magazine in association with BBC Radio Merseyside has organised a Black History Month Debate, live broadcast on Monday 19th October as part of the popular Roger Philips show.

To be part of the live audience please call 0151 707 6550 and reserve your place.
