Welcome to blackhistorymonthscotland.org, the home for Scotland's Black History Month Programme.
#Bhm24
We are now looking for submissions for Black History Month 2024!
Since 2001, Black History Month in Scotland has grown into the busy and varied month of events that it is today. Rooted in the solidarity of the anti-racist movement, Black History Month encompasses the histories of African, Caribbean and Asian people in Scotland, people who often have a direct link with Scotland through slavery, colonialism and migration. Black History Month is a time to focus on the sacrifices, contributions and achievements of these communities, bringing people together to offer a space for reflection and learning. We also use this month to acknowledge the structural racism and white supremacy of the past, and the ways in which Black people continue to be subject to this violence today.
These events aim to promote a greater learning and understanding of the achievements, contributions, and experiences of BME people throughout Scottish history.
CRER is delighted to invite you to be a part of this and to take part in Black History Month 2024.
Please submit your plans for events and activities by completing the form below and returning it to:
amy@crer.org.uk
The deadline for submitting events is Friday 19th July 2024.
