A huge range of events are taking place around the world for Black History Month during October. Each week we'll be recommending something you may wish to explore - and you can find full listings for all the UK events at www.blackhistorymonth.org.uk. Two weeks ago, we encouraged you to discover the work of visual activist Zanele Muholi (see our blog post here). Last week, Carolyn, Jo and Raks recommend some of their favourite books and films about race. This week, we offer you 3 short videos about how White people can be good allies in helping to combat systems, institutions and ideologies that negatively affect Black people and their communities.
