Join us this October for Black History Month 2021
In 2021, with Black people suffering disproportionately during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the recent publication of the government’s much criticised report by the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities – which UNISON described as a “shocking, but unfortunately not surprising…attempt to deny the reality of structural racism” – it’s important that we celebrate positive Black history and raise awareness of lesser known Black stories, such as Indian-born suffragette Princess Sophia, Britain’s first black voter Ignatius Sancho, or the Bristol bus boycott.
Black History Month Weekend
We’re inviting Black members to come together in celebration for a special weekend of events 15-16 October 2021 featuring guest speaker David Olusoga (pictured), author of the bestseller Black And British as well as a fantastic online Black leadership skills course and more!
