Hosted by Bakare Barley Ltd | 19 October 2022 from 12 – 1 pm | Online via Zoom Webinar
Bakare Barley Ltd will be marking Black History Month by discussing how the past influences the present inequities facing Black people and people from racially minoritized backgrounds, and what organisations should do to improve equity, by being informed of the history of race and racism in the UK.
Guest speaker: Andrew Lynch, Local Historian and EDI Practitioner.
