This Newham black history month event mainstreams the untold stories of 25 unsung African heroines to black civilisation on 16 & 23 Oct. 21
There can be no doubt that African women have contributed immensely to the development of black history and civilisation worldwide. Many have held positions of leadership throughout African history. These unsung heroines are depicted as queens, princesses, feminists, warriors, activists, chiefs and leaders of men and movements that resisted the European colonisation of Africa.
The names of many of these women should be chronologically recorded in the annals of African history. This short docufilm mainstreams the untold stories of 25 unsung African heroines in no particular order. The docufilm and the accompanying workshops are designed to educate the general public on the significant contribution of black African women to the evolutionary history of black civilisation.
This Newham black history month event is expected to serve as a reference point for black women history research. The virtual workshops and docufilm are streamed live on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube. They are also available for the benefit of the general public on The Benin Trust website, www.thebenintrust.com.
