Mike Buonaiuto's video: Black History Shapers - Part 1 with Matthew Philip

For over 30 years, Black History Month has been commemorated in Britain not merely as a way to understand and honour the history of Black Britons but also as a way to celebrate blackness, black culture and community. This year, we’re spotlighting black history shapers whose work and life is dedicated to their community. From equal rights activism to preserving history and culture. The first in our series is Matthew Phillip, Executive Director of Notting Hill Carnival. Please consider supporting the Carnival Village Trust, the main organisation in London that seeks to preserve and promote Carnival Arts that are rooted in Caribbean traditions: https://platform.nationalfundingscheme.org/notting-hill-carnival-ltd #.X3bgrZNKhE6
