Cultural heritage
From Windrush to BLM, From WWII to EU Migrants
During Black History Month 2020, Black Heritage Walks Network joined Centrala to bring the Black and the Central and Eastern European communities together through talking about our histories and struggles and how we made the UK our homes.
The event, From Windrush to BLM, From WWII Migrants to EU was held at Centrala space and streamed live on Facebook. It showcased the similarities between the settlement of both communities in the UK and the heritage. The event also featured local artists and food.
