This Black History Month we're celebrating with a lamppost banner installation running along King Street, Hammersmith.
Figures being recognised include Marcus Garvey, Fanny Eaton and Louis Bruce.
These banners will be in place throughout October and free to visit.
Nominate your community's local legend
The King Street exhibition will not only honour our past historical figures.
We also want to celebrate two incredible residents, groups, charities or businesses alongside world-famous Black changemakers from H&F.
We're looking for those who embody the theme of Black History Month this year. The theme is Standing Firm in Power and Pride, a powerful tribute to the resilience, strength, and unwavering commitment to progress that defines the Black community across the globe.
Do you know of a current resident who fits into the Black History Month theme for 2025? Or do you know a resident or organisation supporting and empowering H&F's Black community?
Tell us who we should be celebrating and nominate them to be included in the exhibition. The two winning nominees will have their image and story displayed on lampposts along King Street throughout October.
Nominations
Nominations closed on Monday 8 September 2025 at 5pm.
Nominations will be reviewed by the Mayor of H&F, Cllr Sharon Holder, and members of the H&F Black History Steering Committee.
