Northamptonshire Black History Association has developed from a volunteer-led community project established in 1982. In the summer of 2005, Northamptonshire Black History Association formed as a membership organisation to continue the activities of the project.
 
It is always our aim to ensure that it remains an organisation that works with and for the local community.
