British Voice of Africa Radio Opted out of Black History Celebrations in UK

Via Black Britain:

African community radio station, Voice of Africa Radio, has opted out of these month’s black history celebrations, as a display of protest at the attempts to condense at least 2000 years of rich African history and culture into just 31 days.

Space Clottey, Founder and Project Manager said of the Black History Month ban: “Africans have been part of British culture for at least 2000 years, but unfortunately this essential part of our heritage has been clearly neglected. Quite frankly, it’s just absurd to try and compress all that rich culture and history into just one month.”
