Black History School Workshops

Celebrate Black History month in October

What is Black History Month?

Beginning as a small London-focused tradition in the late 1980s, Black History Month has continued to grow and is now a significant celebration throughout the British Isles.

Black History Month takes place during October and remembers the many significant people and events in the history of black culture, people like Victorian nurse Mary Seacole who served during the Crimean War, former slaves Ignatius Sancho and Olaudah Equiano, and South African leader Nelson Madela. Events like The Long Walk to Freedom, Abolition and Apartheid.

Black History Month teaches us to recognise the history of black people in our country and across the world, but it also celebrates the present and looks to the future. Children are taught that the significant contributions black people have made and continue to make to our nation should be respected and admired.

To help your school learn about black history and African culture, not just in October but throughout the school year, we have a number of specialist school workshops who can visit your class and share their considerable knowledge.
