Black History Month

Updated Wednesday, 11 October 2023
In recognition of Black History Month we have pulled together some content about some inspirational individuals and events for you to explore. 

Black History Month – an international annual month, celebrating, recognising and valuing the inspirational individuals and events from within the Black community. During Black History Month, we remember and celebrate the important people from the past and also who contribute to and help our society today. First celebrated in the UK in 1987, Black History Month in the UK is marked annually during the month of October and in the USA and Canada during the month of February, with important reference to the black society. Black History Month UK went from receiving a kind-hearted response to being a national celebration to BHM UK individuals, shaping history as it stands today. Black History Month 2023 in the UK is being celebrated with a theme of 'Saluting our Sisters'.
