This seems like a very divisive event focused on one minority.  There would be uproar if there was an event focused on white culture.  Why not hold an event that includes all cultures.

Thank you for your comments.

London’s Black communities have a huge impact on all aspects of life in our capital, but too often the breadth of their cultural and creative contributions have been overlooked and undervalued. This new event will be an opportunity for Londoners and visitors to the capital to join together in celebration and to enjoy performances from a wide range of talented Black artists.

The event will add to the variety of events that City Hall already organises for Londoners in celebration of the capital’s diversity, including Diwali, St George’s Day, Eid, St Patrick’s Day, Chanukah, Pride, Lunar New Year and Vaisakhi, amongst many others. You can find out more about the events on the City Hall website: https://www.london.gov.uk/events
