Welcome to Black History Month 2025
We are excited to welcome you to this year’s Black History Month campaign! This is a wonderful opportunity to engage with Black culture and heritage, learn about Black history from various perspectives, and celebrate Black pride and culture through our events, articles, and spotlights! We encourage all students, regardless of cultural background, to get involved and immerse themselves in the rich and diverse history of Black cultural heritage throughout this campaign. Join us for a month filled with exciting events!
This year, we’re highlighting the theme of Black History Month in the United Kingdom: "Standing Firm in Power and Pride." As noted by Black History Month UK, it emphasizes the significance of Black heritage individuals' influence in the UK: “Our History is Deep. Our Culture is Rich. Our Pride is Unshakable.” This theme honours centuries of Black presence & culture in Britain, from early settlers to educators and writers, and reminds us that "Black history is British history". www.blackhistorymonth.org.uk
You are invited to explore this theme through movie screenings and by celebrating the rich African and Caribbean cultures in events such as our cultural showcase, workshops, and more. We are excited to display and celebrate the diversity of our Black students, so be sure to check out the full program as well as our Culture List, where you can find a curated selection of books, films, TV series, music, and more! We can’t wait to see you there!
