Medway African and Caribbean Association
brings Black History to Life with Heritage Lottery Fund support
Medway African and Caribbean Association ( MACA) received funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for an exciting and innovative project called "Black History Live" The project focused on the history and legacy of African and Caribbean People across Kent and Medway during the 19th and 20th centuries.
