Some comments

Lets make it an annual event
Why can't Black history be every month.
It was lovely to see all the cultures together.
This shows how diverse our City really is.

How welcoming it was to be there.
over 40 email of thanking BH Black History.

Request for the exhibition in schools, conferences, Town Hall, Prison, and as far a field as Woking in Surrey and Norfolk.

A big thank you also to all those who had sent in stories about Brighton and Hove, and your letters of appreciation.

Much much Respect.
