Black History Month is held in the UK every October, and is for everyone.
This year, we are hosting a diverse set of events celebrating the national theme of Standing Firm in Power and Pride. Events include a research symposium, exhibitions, discussions, crafts, and talks.
We invite students, staff, and members of the public to take part in our programme, whether by attending events, engaging with communities, or joining conversations that matter.
