The origin of black festival:

This festival reminds people of Martin Luther King and the famous speech "I have a dream". Perhaps the great events of world peace and human equality are too profound for children, but some concepts need to be cultivated from an early age. At an appropriate time, tell children some common sense about people's skin color, race and geography, and let them know that the world is big and there are many people with different skin colors.

Not many people know about black festivals and their cultural customs. In fact, the Black Festival is a festival approved by the Organization of African Unity and determined by the African Cultural Association. In this festival, most black people spend their time with their own unique cultural customs.
