21576 BHM THE AFTERMATH – ecard header – ST1
BHM 2020

October is Black History Month and the University will again be celebrating the culture and histories of black communities with a comprehensive programme of events. The theme for this year is 'The Aftermath' and this year's programme is particularly significant, coming in the wake of the Black Lives Matters protests, which have had a profound impact on members of our University community. 

Our programme will this year be fully virtual which will hopefully allow people to still engage with our events. This year we have also launched a blog. You can submit a blog post by emailing bamestaff@contacts.bham.ac.uk

A full programme of events will be listed below. Please check back regularly for new additions.
