During Black History Month this October, we want to look forwards, as well as looking back.

You will be hearing voices that describe black lives in the past, the present, and the future.

What is the importance of remembering Black History? What challenges and successes face the community today? And what hopes are there for the future?

Join us as we hear the interesting and thought-provoking conversations about black life in the UK. We celebrate black history and culture, as well as having an honest - and at times, blunt - conversation about race.

Black Lives: Past, Present and Future is a Laudable production brought to you by Reach plc and JPI.

Trailer Dialogue by Lynda Moyo

Produced & Edited by Matt Millard
