Black History Month 2022
Time for Change: Action Not Words
Black History Month (BHM) takes place annually in October in the United Kingdom. The event aims to celebrate, recognise, and help people learn about Black cultures and achievements; and to highlight the contributions of Black people to society. The theme for this year’s BHM celebration is “Time for Change: Action Not Words”.
The University of Bradford is pleased to be marking Black History Month 2022. We are putting together an institution wide programme in collaboration between the Centre for Inclusion and Diversity (CfID), the Students’ Union and the Race Equality Staff Forum.
