October is Black History Month (BHM). Find out about the theme, events, resources and information on how to join in, engage with and support BHM2024. Visit the Black History Month 2024 website to find out more.
This year’s Black History Month theme, “Reclaiming Narratives,” marks a significant shift towards recognising and correcting the narratives of Black history and culture. By emphasising this theme, we shine a brighter light on stories, allegories, and histories that underscore our commitment to correcting historical inaccuracies and showcasing the untold success stories and the full complexity of Black heritage.
Honour Our Heroes: Challenge the narratives that have often overlooked the contributions and achievements of Black individuals both in the UK and globally.
Embrace Our Stories: Take control of our stories, honour our heroes, and shine a light on the diverse and profound impact of Black individuals across various fields.
Empower and Educate: Join us in embracing, educating, and empowering one another through the stories that shape our collective identity.
