Black History Month

What is Black History Month?

Black History Month (BHM) in the UK has been celebrated for over 30 years, originally founded as a movement to recognise the contributions of people from African and Caribbean backgrounds. Now the celebration has expanded to include the history, achievements, and contributions of all black people.

Black History month is recognised nationally every October and internationally across other months. You are able to join activities and read news across the national Black History Month pages.

The month is a time for celebration, recognition and reflection and the Students Union would like to invite you to engage with our programme of resources, events and knowledge. Build on your understanding of Black History Month, recognise key figures across history and find out about campaigns, movements, events, and how you can get involved.
