What is Black History Month?

Black History Month (BHM) is held every October in Britain. The origins of BHM go back to the 1920's in America.

Whilst its focus is in celebrating the history and achievements of those of African heritage it has become a means of celebrating the contributions of other minorities in Britain.






The aims of BHM are to;

  • Promote knowledge of Black History and experience
  • Disseminate information on positive Black contributions to British Society
  • Heighten the confidence and awareness of Black People in their cultural heritage. In Britain, BHM has been established as an important part of the cultural calendar for many years.
