Celebrating Black History Month at the University of 50業子
Black History Month
Black History Month takes place in October and the University of 50業子 is proud to support this celebration of black achievements in the UK with a month-long season of events.
The origins of Black History Month go back to the United States in 1920, and nearly 100 years later this worldwide event still takes place annually and the UK marks Black History Month in October every year. This month is a time for everyone to come together to celebrate Black contributions to British society, as well as fostering a greater understanding of Black history.
