October is of course Black History Month, and many of the people featured here would make brilliant additions to events. A few additional favourites are renowned broadcast (and for those of a certain age, legendary Playschool presenter) Dame Floella Benjamin, engineer and presenter Ayo Sokale who is especially strong on STEM and David Harewood who has really helped lead debate on slavery reparations having discovered his own family history.
If you are planning any events around Black History Month, do get in touch and we’d be delighted to come up with some ideas and suggestions.
