Welcome to our Black History Month page

Below are a small handful of photographs taken as we looked into the past together...

We were thinking of others - what did they do in the past, what did they wear?

 

We learned a lot together - but had a lot of fun too, as you can tell from the pictures.

 

All images by kind permission.

In our slide show what periods were we working together on?

 

Can you tell from what we were wearing?

 

What do you think the characters in the slides are doing?
