"Black History Month is a time to celebrate and honour the accomplishments and achievements of our black students. We celebrate and remember those individuals who have contributed immensely to the British history as well as challenging modern negative stereotypes.
"Black History has formed a huge aspect of British culture today, and we have seen the incredible talent of our black students in the creative, music, literature, sports, healthcare, engineering, business and many more industries, and they will continue to inspire us. However, we should not restrain ourselves to October to celebrate black students, it should be an year-round celebration of support to black people in our community!
"BCUSU are continuing to celebrate black people at BCU, and we have planned a wide range of events alongside the University to honour our black students. Your Officer Team have planned a Black Student Showcase where our black students can display their work, art, or businesses to students and staff. This will raise awareness of black culture at our university, alongside our societies such as: Afro-Caribbean Society, Nigeran Society, People of Colour Society, who will host events through the month. You can join these societies and other communities at anytime of your studies, not just Black History Month!”
