Black History Month

The theme for this year’s Black History Month is Reclaiming Narratives.  This theme is described by Cherron Inko-Tariah MBE as aiming to to inspire and educate the next generation. ‘In schools, universities, and cultural institutions, this theme offers a fresh perspective on Black history that goes beyond the traditional focus on slavery and civil rights. It’s about celebrating Black excellence in all its forms—whether in the arts, sciences, politics, or everyday life.’  Read more by Cherron here.
