More than 300 people gathered for a "fabulous" finale to Black History Month.
The closing ceremony at Bowes Methodist Church, in Palmerston Road, Palmers Green, saw international scholar Dr Hakim Adi speak on the subject of black people coming to Britain before the Windrush, before the Second World War.
The audience also heard from Zena Edwards, who read an inspiring poem written specifically for the occasion as well as The Pegasus Opera Company.
A plethora of events have taken place across the borough with students and staff at Oasis Academy Enfield, creating an interactive museum for the month.
Teachers at Bush Hill Primary School also took on one of television’s most iconic masterminds Sean Wallace.
"It is important to remember that black people haven't newly arrived on these shores, aren't here as economic migrants, or scroungers, but contributors to the development of Britain, with a long history here. This is a wonderful opportunity to set the record straight," said ECA’s vice-chairman Desrie Thomson-George.
Ms Thomson-George described the even as "fabulous" and "entertaining" as the special month came to a close.
