About

Join us for a discussion on the future of Black History Month, where we will be joined by award-winning author, broadcaster and Professor of Sociology, Gary Younge, as well as members of youth group 8% club!

We will be discussing different ways to think about Black History Month and ensure that Black histories are explored and celebrated all year round. We will be launching our Black History Manifesto, which guides how we approach Black histories in our work at the AIU Centre. We want to offer this Manifesto to other organisations, particularly those in education, archives, museums, libraries and galleries.
