The Prime Minister helped to celebrate Black History Month at a Downing Street reception this evening.

Guests were celebrating Black History Month which is running throughout October to promote knowledge of black history, culture and heritage.

In a message the PM wrote that Modern Britain is stronger because of the “contributions made by our diverse ethnic communities”.

He wrote:

“From members of the Government to inspirational school heads, pioneering business people to stars of the arts, in every single walk of life you find people of African or Afro-Caribbean descent making an amazing difference to Britain.”
