"Reclaiming Narratives" is the theme for Black History Month 2024, with a focus on the shift towards recognising and correcting the narratives of Black history and culture, and showcasing the untold success stories and the full complexity of Black heritage.
Throughout the academic year, your SU in collaboration with the University, organises a range of activities to celebrate the diversity of the cultures on campus - for example, we've included a tasting session with the help of the Afro-Caribbean Society, dance sessions, sports events, as well as a Black History Month Ball to bring the celebrations to a close.
In addition to this, we arranged informative events including panel discussions and anti-racism training, as well as sharing information and resources related to Black History Month.
If you, your School or your Society are hosting an event or initiative for Black History Month and would like some promotional support from the SU, get in touch with your FTOs or pop an e-mail over to us here!
To celebrate the contribution made by the diverse range of cultures but also commemorate the struggle (historical and ongoing) for equality and representation.
In Europe, Black History Month runs throughout October every year and is regarded as one of the most prominent cultural celebrations. The first iteration of what we now call Black History Month can be traced back to 1926 America, but the first Black History Month celebration didn't take place in the UK until October 1987.
