The BHC itself and the rationale behind it

The black History Challenge (BHC) is the intellectual property of 100 BMOL and has been adopted from the 100 Black Men of America's 'African-American History Challenge'. The rationale behind the American challenge is essentially an education scholarship programme designed to enhance the study of African-American history and to increase young people's knowledge of the contribution African-Americans have made to the development of American society.

The BHC under the 100 BMOL has the same aims and ambitions as described above, the key difference being the focus on Europe and in particular, the African-Caribbean experience in the United Kingdom. It is also intended to increase the interest of young people understanding the legacy left to them and encouraging the living of lives worthy of that legacy.
