John Simkin Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Black History Month Promoters' Newsletter Welcome to BHM Promoters newsletter. This is a reminder to start planning for BHM October 2006, and that BHM website is still taking listings for events ALL year round. Plan early for Black History Month events in October 2006. Last year was probably the best ever BHM celebrations with a richness and diversity of events throughout the UK never seen before. And the BHM website more than trebled its annual hits. From April 1st 2005 until 12th March 2006, BHM received well over 7 million hits (More details below). Themes for BHM 2006 BHM website is loathe to prescribe the themes for Black History Month celebrations, but we make suggestions here that you might like to consider.
