This year Black History Month is dedicated to ‘Saluting Our Sisters’, honouring the achievements of black women and highlighting the role they have played in shaping history and contributing to society.

Black History Month is an opportunity to recognise, celebrate, and understand the impact of black heritage and the contributions of black people to British society. Black History Month takes place every October, but respecting, honouring, and celebrating black history should take place all year round.

This year features titles such as ‘Pioneering Voices’, ‘Breaking Barriers’, and ‘Women Who Lead’, all of which feature black women who have used their voice to speak out, break down barriers, and make significant contributions to society.
