For our Black History Month Enrichment day, the girls covered lots of topics and learned about different inspiring people. Claudia Jone and Carnival.
The history of carnival in Black history is deeply intertwined with the African American experience and the fight for civil rights. Carnival, as a celebration of culture and community, has been a powerful tool for Black communities to express their identity and resist oppression. The Notting Hill Carnival, for example, was inspired by the political activism of Claudia Jones and the racial tensions of the 1950s. It has become a symbol of Black culture and a space for community and resistance.
