October Books are honoured to host Don John as he presents a talk as part of the “A Study in Colourism” exhibition this Black History Month, supported by Arts Council England. 

With 40 years of experience in the Race and Diversity field, Don prompts a discourse on Colourism -  a prejudice in which Black or Brown people with darker skin experience disadvantages compared with those with a lighter complexion. 

Learn how this prejudice outworks in our communities and be the difference in Southampton this October.
