Black History Month 2022 - This year the national theme is:
'Time for Change: Action not Words'

Black History Month is an annual celebration that highlights the contributions, successes and achievements of the Black community.  At Queen Mary we will be hosting our biggest and most collegiate celebration to date, with a programme of virtual events, initiatives and communications from 1 - 31 October.

This is a great opportunity to stay true to the theme, take time to engage in the programme and affirm the value of education to celebrate Black history.
