The 'small but mighty' ACNA Centre in St Ann's that remains 'instrumental' to black community
There has been praise from Nottingham’s first Afro Caribbean Centre about the vital role that black people in politics have played in the city. Members of the Afro Caribbean National Artistic Centre in St Ann’s have spoken out about how they hope to be open more to the community soon too.
Their latest celebration in honour of Jamaica's 60th year of Independence will be a thanksgiving service and a reception. On Sunday August 7, at St Mary’s Church there will be a ecumenical civic service and then a 3pm starting reception at the ACNA Centre on Hungerhill Road. “Hopefully, when we put on these kinds of events, people will be curious and ask questions. This event is open for anyone, it’s a free event with the only thing that you need to pay for is food.”
“People looked forward to it and we’d ring people, keeping in touch and making sure that they were okay.” Jeremy continued and said: “Every time people come here, they leave better from when they came through the door. There’s a bounce to this place, you leave uplifted, people are linked together from different ethnic groups.”
