Islington Council has formally opened its landmark Black Cultural Centre – a safe space for residents from Black African and Caribbean heritage to come together.
As part of its mission to tackle racism, injustice, and inequality in the borough, the council has created the centre on 16-18 Hornsey Road to provide opportunities for learning about Black history and culture, and to empower and uplift Islington’s Black community.
The opening of the centre comes after the council listened carefully to feedback from local people about the lack of provision for Black communities in the borough, and feedback from a public consultation has helped shape the centre’s offering.
During its first year, four different organisations will be based at the centre for three months at a time, to offer services and activities to Global Majority African and Caribbean communities.

Black History Studies presents the screening of ‘The Psychosis of Whiteness’
A flim by Eugene Nulman and Kehinde Andrews.
Join us for the screening of The Psychosis of Whiteness, directed by Eugene Nulman and based on the paper of the same title by Kehinde Andrews.
The Psychosis of Whiteness sheds light on society’s perceptions of race and racism by exploring cinematic representations of the slave trade. This documentary takes an in-depth look at big budget films that focus on the transatlantic slave trade and, using a wealth of sources and interviews, it argues that these depictions are metaphoric hallucinations about race. Rather than blaming the powerful institutions that are responsible for slavery, these films rewrite history by praising those same institutions for abolishing the slave trade.
Read the article that inspired the film in the BCU Open access repository http://www.open-access.bcu.ac.uk/5774/1/Andrews%20%282016%29%20Psychosis%20of%20Whiteness-%20Green%20access.pdf
This screening will take place on Saturday 21st December 2024 from 15:00 to 16:30 GMT.
The event will be held at The Black Cultural Centre Islington, 16–18 Hornsey Road, N7 7BT. Approx 5 mins walk from Holloway Road (Piccadilly Line) tube station.
Food and drinks will be on sale.
Tickets are £5.00 per person.

Investing is a skill most can’t learn from a book. The alternative of learning in the ‘real world’ could prove costly. You need to first understand your own behaviour. The CASHFLOW 101 game was created by Robert and Kim Kiyosaki, the founders of the Rich Dad Company. Robert Kiyoski is the author of the best-ever selling personal finance book of all times, Rich Dad Poor Dad, which has been on the New York Times Bestseller list for over 7 years, translated into over 30 languages.
Cashflow 101 was created as a fun, powerful and experimental way to teach investing and wealth building, manage assets and liabilities, trade stocks and fight your way out of the rat race.
This game will help you gain the knowledge on how to be wealthy and that with be life changing. Be the boss and find out more about yourself financial styles and know if it matches your opponent. Sharpen your financial literacy skills and relearn the concepts of investing and making money. Perhaps if you are the saving type, try out forceful investing. If you like taking risks, maybe try to do steady growth. The CASHFLOW 101 is a simulation of real life.
