What We're Reading this Black History Month
Hello from London and what seems to be the epicentre of excitement this Black History Month. First observed in October 1987 to mark the 150th anniversary of emancipation in the Caribbean, Black History Month aims to remember and honour the contributions of people of African and Caribbean heritage. 2023’s theme, Saluting our Sisters, celebrates the work of women (many of them forgotten or obscured behind historical revision) towards furthering change, advancement, and social justice. Depending on their remit and mission, organisations, institutions and authorities will focus on black women in industry, science, sport, politics and academia. So at Cayman Connection, we thought that we would take the opportunity to share a selection of authors and books being read, discussed and suggested by members of our Book Club.
