This month, to celebrate black history month, we are learning about Claudia Jones. Claudia was born in Trinidad in 1915, she came to England in 1955. She was an activist and journalist and she spent most of her life fighting for equal rights for the black community. In 1959 Claudia organised a Caribbean Carnival in response to the Notting Hill riots of 1958. She wanted to celebrate Caribbean culture. This later became The Notting Hill Carnival.
To celebrate her achievements, this week we have designed costumes to wear at the carnival. Which one will you be wearing?
