Location: University of Sussex
Fee: FREE

Linda Bellos introduced Black History Month to the UK back in 1987 and is perhaps best known as a campaigner, political activist and former leader of Lambeth Council. She was the first Black woman to join the Spare Rib feminist collective in 1981 and was vice-chair of the successful Black Section campaign to African Caribbean and Asian parliamentary and local candidates within the Labour Party, which increased the number of Black Councillors from 100 to 500 across the UK. Linda will be looking back over the last 20 years on the development of Black History Month in the UK and will be considering the challenges ahead.
