‘Black to the Future’: October 2014
On behalf of the Chair of Preston Black History Group I would like to invite you and a friend to join us as we celebrate ‘Black to the Future, 2014.’
The event will showcase Black Achievements and Black Achievers. The Black Achievement will illustrate some of the contributions made to the development of mankind by people of African origin. The achievers [we present] are of African origin and have succeeded in their individual fields and will share their journeys with you.
All too often these contributors have not been given the credit they deserve. It is time for this to change.
The evening will be held on Wednesday 8th October and will begin with your arrival at 18.30 for light refreshments. The presentations will start at 19.00 hours. The venue for the evening is Fulwood Methodist Church, Watling Street Road, Fulwood, Preston, PR2 8EA.
All replies to the event Co- organiser by email to jonathan@prestonblackhistorygroup.org.uk.
Should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best Regards
Mr J. Pond.
