October 2022: Black History Month
The theme for this years Black History Month is ‘Time for change; Action not words’, this supports action to be taken rather than discussed.
‘To ensure real change, we need real support from our allies. It’s time to reset your mindset and support us with actions, not words. Join with us, see something, say something, don’t be a passive bystander. Not just at the weekend in the club or playing sports, but on the street, in shops, at work.’ Blackhistorymonth.org
Black history month has been celebrated since 1970 and we continue to celebrate the fundamental part of history that individuals from African and Caribbean backgrounds have had in British History for centuries.
The government has the Race Disparity Unit as part of the cabinet who are working to reduce the disparity between races and the opportunities that individuals are offered as it is clear that this still needs addressing as seen on this website: Ethnicity facts figures
