Black
History Month

October 2021

October is Black History Month. It's a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the contributions of Black people across the world and, specifically, the UK.

At BCUSU, your Officers are working hard to bring you educational events and activities happening throughout October, giving you the opportunity to learn about Black history. See what's on below, get involved and celebrate!

Black History Month is a time to reflect on the History of the Black Community and I am excited to share that this year’s national theme is "Proud to be". "Proud to be" offers us an opportunity to change the narrative of Black History Month, it is always important remember the traumas of the past, however as a community we are more than those traumas. There are many things to celebrate in the Black community, different diverse groups with in our community that represent different careers, cultures, religions, identities and walks of life.Asha Stewart, your Vice President Equity and Inclusion
