By: BTWSC Brent-based, pan-London voluntary organisation BTWSC aims to highlight civil rights campaigns in Britain led by African activists during this year’s Black History Month. The NARM (Naming And Role Model) African British Civil Rights History events, which take place across London, will use the BTWSC published NARM book to highlight African British civil rights activists, and campaigns. Led by NARM consultant Kwaku, the audio-visual assisted presentations will highlight campaigns such as the Bristol Bus Boycott, Black People's Day Of Action, and the activism of Eric Irons OBE in Nottingham, Berry Edwards in Manchester. In addition, it will have a focus on an activist with a local connection to the area in which the event is held. For example, there will be a discussion on CLR James during the event in Hackney, where a library is named after him, and a focus on Dr Harold Moody in Southwark, where he lived and worked. Music will be included through the Music4Causes (M4C) strand. M4C provides artists with an opportunity to use their creativity to speak to the themes under discussion in order to entertain, uplift and educate. NARM BHM 2011 and related events copied below.
