A NEW book available in Harrow which celebrates African heritage was launched at the House of Common.

At a event hosted by Labour MP for Brent South Dawn Butler, voluntary organisation BTWSC launched a book called African Voices: Quotations by People of African Descent.

The book, which is available at libraries across Harrow, contains inspirational quotations from people of African descent, showing the depth of contribution to world civilisation from Africa.

Tony McNulty, Labour MP for Harrow East, was among the guests at the launch on Tuesday, March 16, and said: “To have a book like this celebrating the intellectual might of so many of African heritage must be good not only for those of African heritage, but for everybody because this adds to the rich body of what is humanity and humanity is golden.”

The book is also on sale at bookshops in Finsbury Park, Willesden, Harlesden, costing £8.
