Article-Summary: 

For many Afro-Caribbean children in Britain, Black History Month is a rare chance to learn about their heritage. Throughout October and the start of November, events are held across the UK to mark the annual celebration. But Ken Barnes, who runs a charity called the 100 Black Men of London, wants to change this. "Black history lasts for more than a month," he said. "It should be spread out throughout the year and not just in October - this is something that I am very passionate about."
