A number of local authorities have rebranded the celebratory initiative in favour of 'diversity months'
A NUMBER of councils have been criticised for scrapping their Black History Month activities and celebrations.
The achievements of black people in the UK are recognised as part of Black History Month, which begins on October 1 every year.
But some councils have been cutting funds towards Black History programmes and rebranding the initiative to celebrate people from different ethnic backgrounds.
Historian David Olusoga and Labour MP and shadow and equalities minister Dawn Butler are two prominent figures who have expressed their concern about the changes.
