 To mark the start of Black History Month, the Drum - in partnership with Birmingham City Council - held a launch event last night, bringing together local, national, and international artists and speakers. Speaking at the event, our CEO Joy took the opportunity to answer some of BHM's critics.
I’ve always felt positive about Birmingham. I was born and brought up here, and have lived here all my life, and there’s something about Birmingham that I have always felt welcoming. I like its communities living side by side, the way people generally get on. I like the way that Birmingham has adapted to post-industrialism and to being a big multicultural city.
I think you can like something and still know its faults. Birmingham isn’t perfect. Most of our black and minority communities still live in the poorest parts of the city. Black and Asian unemployment is still higher than unemployment in other groups, and in recent years there has been some tension between communities. Some white ethnic groups are also facing challenging issues such as long term unemployment, poor health and educational outcomes.

 Good news – brap have just won a contract to deliver an
exciting project on behalf of Macmillan Cancer Support. We’ll be supporting a group of Cancer Networks across the country to develop new, innovative
approaches to equality and human rights. In particular, we will be exploring
how human rights ideas can be used to improve the provision of services to
those affected by cancer. This is a great project for brap to be involved in,
as we’ll have an opportunity to test out cutting edge equalities practice with a group of committed healthcare professionals. We can’t wait to get going. The project starts soon and will be completed in Spring next year.
