Hi
We need your support please, even if you feel you cannot help or do not wish to support the campaign please forward to all of your family & friends – by working together we can make a difference!
London is recognised as one of the most diverse cities in the world but this is not reflected in the models used during the London Fashion Week's and many of the other Fashion Weeks across the world. As part of the Black BUT Invisible campaign we are saying enough is enough, it is not good enough to take the money that we spend on consumer goods but then refuse to put a fair proportion of models of colour on the catwalk.
They will not even be a little bit fake and let us audition and then say no. British Fashion Council, organisers of London Fashion Week are blatantly open about the "industry Apartheid" they are practising.
WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO WRITE, EMAIL OR TELEPHONE BRITSH FASHION COUNCIL, ORGANISERS OF London FASHION WEEK TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS BLATANT DISCRIMINATION.

Greetings everyone,
Back by popular demand, Black History Studies have organised another tour of British Museum in London.
All are welcome to the tour of the British Museum, designed and accompanied by Robin Walker and Mark Simpson. During this two hour tour, either Robin Walker or Mark Simpson will take you around the Museum, sharing their detailed knowledge about the artefacts on display.
The tour will take place on Sunday 22nd February 2009. There is a choice of two tour times. Option 1 is from 10.30am- 12.30pm and Option 2 is from 2.15pm to 4.15pm. The price for the tour is £10 per person (which covers the tour plus the tour booklet that you will receive at the end of the tour).
Numbers on each tour are limited, so allocation will be on a first come first served basis and we anticipate that there will be a lot of demand for this tour. If you would like to attend the tour of the British Museum, please email us for a booking form.
(Please note that photographs will be taken at this tour that may be used for promotional purposes).
We would appreciate if you could forward this information to all who you believe will be interested.
Regards
Charmaine Simpson
Chief Executive
