Kevin brings you the fascinating history of how Black people settled here in the West.

A professor teaching Black History at university will explain the fascinating history of how people settled here in the West.

It's officially Black History Month 2014, so there's a look at the contributions made by the African-Caribbean community in Britain, and what events are taking place to mark it.  Plus a professor teaching Black History at university will explain the fascinating history of how people settled here in the West.  Also, imagine if the dusty old equipment in your office at work could be used to save lives?  Well that's what's happening with some unused medical equipment - thankfully it's now being shipped off to an African hospital to save lives!  Have you ever heard of Walter Tull?  He was the first black officer in the British Army....We'll be talking to the man who is playing him in a theatre production currently touring the country.  And why are black men three times as likely to develop prostate cancer than white men?  Well it's something you might be able to help answer!  Find out how with Kevin from 8pm on Sunday.
