BLACK POPPY ROSE
THE BLACK POPPY ROSE
The Black Poppy Rose was launched in September 2010 by Selena Carty. Created to be a symbol that represents the contributions made by the African/Black/Caribbean/Pacific Islands communities to various wars since the 16th century. A symbol that signifies pride, honour and glory, with the hope that future generations will be inspired by these largely untold historical legacies.
The African/Black/Caribbean/Pacific Islands contributions to the various War Effects have paved the way for the ‘cultures’ we know and understand today.
