Black History Month runs throughout October with a series of events, promotion, seminars and celebrations across the UK.

It is said that a key factor in setting October as Black History Month is as it falls at the beginning of a new academic year and can instil pride and identity into young black learners. October is also a period of tolerance and reconciliation in African culture.
