ABOUT US: The Black History Foundation is a national organisation, established to act as an influential vehicle which actively encourages, inspires and empowers individuals to recognise that Black Heritage is their heritage too.
In 1997, a group of dynamic, committed and passionate individuals came together to ensure that Black Heritage was no longer marginalised. BHF began by facilitating the establishment and development of Black History Month. It has now become a nationally recognised lobbying body and advocate for Black Heritage. BHF remains committed to unearthing our hidden histories while preserving and maintaining its legacy.
BHF is committed to the following Organisational Values:
To promote a Black History advocacy role in supporting communities, organisations and networks to archive the black communities contribution to society
To develop, promote and co-ordinate Black History Month through a program of activities which demonstrates the significance of the black contribution to local culture, economy and the wider society
To increase the local, national and international profile of black historical contribution
To build and maintain an archive of the impact, experience and contribution of Black people
To formulate and establish an infrastructure, which ensures that Black contribution to society is part of mainstream culture acknowledgement and celebration
To ensure that Black culture is viewed and utilised as an asset in advancing both socio-economic growth and mobility of black communities

My guests today in the studio are the Uyghurs people from China
The Uyghurs of East Turkestan, a region in the northwest China, are yet another of the numerous ethnic nationalities within China heavily persecuted by Chinese authorities
According to them ,Despite widespread oppression, including incidences of harassment, intimidation, repression of religious practices, arbitrary arrests and extrajudicial executions, the Uyghur community remains firmly committed to non-violence, as well as to the protection and promotion of human rights and democracy.
IT IS BELIEVED THAT The Uyghurs are under greater pressure than any other ethnic minority because the government sees them not only as potential protesters but also as potential terrorists. The entire Uyghur population is often seen as a security threat, even though only a tiny fraction have been involved in radical or separatist activities
On the occasion of the impending arrival of the Olympic Torch in East Turkestan (as known Xinjiang Uyghur Autonom Region), Chinese authorities are trying to use this event to conceal the widespread discontentment of Uyghurs with the totalitarian Chinese regime by creating a false atmosphere of “harmonious society” and to mislead the world community about continued, massive and systematic violations of human rights in East Turkestan. The World Uyghur Congress has recently learned that authorities have closely monitored all activities of Uyghurs carried out on the occasion of the Olympic Torch Relay in East Turkestan
