It's important to challenge the current narrative which is stoking anti black rhetoric and creating divisions. 

Use this event to create a new, more healthy relationship with London's black communities. 

I had written to my Assembly Member last year about doing an event at city hall for Black History Month. I met and spoke with him about how important it is to challenge the divisiveness. I hope he contributed to the debate your office may have had in relation to this. 

Institutional racism is still very present and the data shows that in policing, education and in the health services. I would love to see this event intersect with institution and art.

Ask Young people to create art where they relate to the issues, not just black young people all young people interviewing black Londoners. Let them have the stage next year, where they can explore the issues and understand the impact of systematic racism in a metropolitan city.
