Description
Black History Month (BHM) 2023 presents an opportunity to celebrate the achievements and history of Black people, their communities and their contributions to our collective history.
Join us for our final event as we reflect on what we've achieved whilst looking into the work that is still required to achieve racial justice and equity.
It will be an evening of incredible music by the Bristol Reggae Orchestra and an inspiring line up of female speakers from UWE and Bristol who have moved mountains in their respective fields.
