Celebrating Black History Month
in Enfield
www.enfield.gov.uk/BHM2021
Welcome to Black History Month 2021. The theme for this year is Proud to
Be, which encourages black people of all ages to share why they are Proud
To Be and how we’re all making history in our own ways. By asking people
to share why they are Proud to Be we can share both individual stories
and the vast richness of diversity that black people bring to the UK.
In Enfield, we are proud to do what we can to make each years’ Black
History Month celebrations reflective of our diverse and dynamic
communities. This year our community groups have been working hard with our officers
at Enfield Council to create an exciting, informative programme of events happening
borough wide throughout the month of October for everyone to enjoy.
We have produced a brochure capturing the events planned for the month which can be
found here: www.enfield.gov.uk/BHM2021
We are delighted to have curated a great mix of events for your enjoyment. We are holding
music events, community workshops, and a season of films as part of the online Ponders
End Film Festival. We will celebrate black women in our recent past, invite you to food
festivals, online panel discussions, a new Covid 19 documentary aimed at the Caribbean
community and much more. In doing so, we hope to showcase the terrific contribution
our diverse black communities make in Enfield and help illuminate what has been a
challenging 12 months for all of us.
Black History Month is a time to celebrate, and a time to reflect on what we still need to do
to achieve equality. The effects of the pandemic have and continue to be especially hard
felt by our local Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities and has reminded us again
of the journey we still need to travel. I hope that Black History Month 2021 can provide an
opportunity to give some relief to and shine some light towards those in the borough who
may have had to face loss or hardship in recent times. We stand together with you.
Doing what I can to build and support cohesive communities is a vital part of my work
as Cabinet Member for Community Safety and Cohesion and a fundamental part of
what Enfield Council seeks to do to help create a better, fairer Enfield for all of us. I hope
whatever plans you have throughout Black History Month you all keep safe and enjoy the
celebrations of a very important and inspiring historic month in 2021.
Be proud to be.
Cllr Nneka Keazor
Cabinet Member for Community Safety and Cohesion

William Davidson: A Black Gentleman 8 October 2021 6.45pm Broadcast online from 6.45pm as part of the Online Ponders End Film Festival ‘William Davidson: A Black Gentleman’ is a hybrid documentary which has a combination of interviews and animation woven into the narrative to artistically dramatise the story of William Davidson. Presented by Gospel Temple https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebaB1MmD1Sg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSHHI9alNt The Cato Street Conspiracy 8 October 2021 7pm Broadcast online from 7pm as part of the Online Ponders End Film Festival Our story begins with the polite society of Georgian England in the early 19th century. When William Davidson enters the dance hall, the slave world of plantations in Jamaica intrudes upon polite society, and the conflict between Richard Smithers and Davidson therefore begins. The collision between these two worlds explores attitudes towards slavery, and the lower classes in England as represented by Davidson’s alliance with Arthur Thistlewood.
