Black History Expo 2024
African and Caribbean Support Organisation Northern Ireland (ACSONI)
Black History Expo Belfast 2024, is relevant to the recent racial tensions and violence in Belfast, particularly following the August 2024 riots. These events underscored the persistence of racial misunderstandings and misinformation that fuel violence. The Expo will serve as a critical platform for education, dialogue, and healing, addressing the root causes of these tensions through workshops, panels, and exhibitions. By fostering cross-community collaboration, the event aims to strengthen resilience, prevent future violence, and build unity. Participants, including marginalized groups, will have the opportunity to engage in discussions that promote mutual understanding and challenge harmful stereotypes. The Expo also highlights the positive contributions of the Black community to Northern Ireland’s social, cultural, and economic fabric. This year’s participants, particularly community leaders, will play a crucial role in promoting peace and inclusivity, reinforcing Belfast’s identity as a City of Sanctuary.
