Black History Month 2015

Black History Month 2015 

Further to motion 5, which was carried at the last CWU Black Worker’s Conference, our department is writing to ask Branches and Regions to consider organising a Black History initiative in order that our members can be better informed around the significant contribution of black people in history.

 

We are in possession of a number of interesting black history pull-ups, which feature various characters both from the past and present. These pull-ups, which are part of a wider exhibition, have been used and celebrated by organisations such as the Labour Party and other trade unions.

 

Use of the pull-ups is completely free but carriage costs would be met by anyone agreeing to use them. We also ask that any Branch or Region who uses the pull-ups considers making a donation to the African-Caribbean Leukaemia Trust (ACLT).

 

We are confident that all CWU members irrespective of their colour, creed etc. will find a black history initiative of great interest. Our Race Advisory Committee will be preparing a special leaflet to support Black History Month.

 

Any enquiries regarding this LTB should be referred to the Equal Opportunities Department.

 

Yours sincerely
