October is Black History Month in the UK, an event that has been celebrated nationwide for more than 30 years.
It was originally founded to recognise the contributions that people of African and Caribbean backgrounds have made to the UK over many generations.
Now, Black History Month has expanded to include the history of not just African and Caribbean people but all black people.
