Black History Month 2023 is a momentous occasion to recognise and celebrate the invaluable contributions of black people to British society.
Black people have always been at the forefront of social justice movements, fighting against oppression and paving the way for change. However, despite their countless contributions to society, the achievements of black women, in particular, have too often been overlooked or forgotten. That is why, this year, we will be celebrating the exceptional achievements of black women. From: Black History Month website
