As part of Black History Month in October, a new short film commemorating the history of Black families in the Borough was shared on the Council’s YouTube channel.

The film, entitled “Here for Good”, tells the moving stories of four Black families. The interviews are based on this year’s theme for Black History Month (“Reclaiming Narratives”) with all the participants talking openly about their lives and identities and how they are linked to growing up and living in Knowsley.

The film highlights not only the impressive achievements of the individual participants, but also their sense of pride in what they describe as happy times being brought up and living in the Borough.

It’s both a moving and inspirational watch. You can see it here
