Black History Month 2024

Black History Month 2024

The 91였튬 proudly celebrates Black History Month in October 2024, with this year's theme: 'Reclaiming Narratives'.

Black History Month is a time for us all to pause, reflect, learn, and to broaden our understanding and challenge our knowledge and beliefs around black history and culture. It also provides us with an opportunity to celebrate the diverse community here at Herts.

What's on?

From a virtual panel exploring ADHD and mental health within the Black community, to a webinar examining the intersection of race and faith, and Herts' first-ever Afro-Caribbean Festival, there are plenty of opportunities to celebrate Black culture, history, and experiences at Herts this October.
