VIDEO: Proud to Be Poem - Written and Performed by Peace
Black History Month
Overview
Black History Month 2021’s theme is ‘Proud to Be’ and here at Walsall for All, it represented an opportunity to look at identity and to look deeper at the individual experiences of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds as well as the common challenges and perceptions experienced across all of our Black communities.
It also represented an opportunity to look more closely at what people were ‘proud’ of being, achieving or doing in their lives (be that something as seemingly simple as being a mother or father; a career achievement whatever that may be; or a more personal success that they have pride in) and the experiences, challenges and journey that each have taken.
