We Celebrate Black History Month with a Focus on "Reclaiming Narratives"
This October, we are proud to celebrate Black History Month by honouring the rich history, culture, and contributions of Black communities. As part of our ongoing commitment to inclusivity, we are not only focusing on this important month but also standing for equality and justice all year round.
The theme for 2024 is "Reclaiming Narratives," a call to action to actively stand against racism by amplifying marginalised voices. Through this theme, we aim to create a future rooted in equality and justice, supporting the empowerment of those historically under-represented.
Event Spotlight: Black History Month Annual Forum
As part of this year’s celebration, Louise invites students, staff, and the wider public to attend the Black History Month Annual Forum in Weston-Super-Mare on Thursday, 17th October, from 4-8pm.
