Black History Month is observed in St Kitts and Nevis with huge celebrations, and during this time, people remember those who made exceptional achievements in history.In addition to this, Premier Mark Brantley is also looking forward to celebrating the event. As the month began, he said that he wanted to blend the celebration with the spirit of Culturama 50.
The Premier added, "This year's Culturama theme, "Celebrating Culture, Embracing History It's Culturama 50!" resonates deeply, and throughout February, our focus is on highlighting the incredible cultural icons right here on Nevis!"
Mark Brantley invited everyone to join him in honouring Nevisian icons. He said that their goal is to shine a spotlight on the outstanding individuals who help make significant contributions to the culture.
While asking everyone to share their stories, he said, "Share your insights, stories, and pictures and help us identify those hidden gems not yet in our archives," and added that everyone's contributions will make this celebration even more vibrant!
