What is Black History Month?

Black History Month is held every October. 

It is a month that talks about the things Black people have achieved.

And raises awareness of Black history. 

This includes contributions made by Black people to the history of Britain.

Black History Month challenges racism and helps people understand each other...

... by making sure Black people's achievements and stories are talked about and not forgotten.

The theme of Black History Month this year is "Reclaiming Narratives".

For Black History Month, "Reclaiming Narratives" means talking and writing about the stories from history where Black people have done great things.
