October marks Black History Month - an opportunity to celebrate the contributions and achievements of black people in the UK and across the world. It also represents a period of continued action to tackle racism and ensure black history is explored and talked about all year round.
For 2022, the official Black History Month UK magazine is launching a new theme - ‘Time for Change: Action Not Words’. As ever, the magazine is also encouraging people to share their stories and be heard as the publication takes its remit beyond celebrated figures and events to recognise the achievements that black people in the UK make every day.
Here in Manchester, there’s a plethora of events giving a platform and raising awareness of Black History Month and below you’ll find some of the highlights. Meanwhile, to find out more information about the celebrations and other events around the UK, you can visit the Black History Month website.
