From its initial mission to correct the historic narrative, Black History Month has shifted its focus in response to the changing needs of Black people. In recent years, it has moved from a general focus on Black History to profiling contemporary Black role models to restore the sense of identity, heritage, hope, and pride to Black people, and now to driving more active social change. This Black History Month, take a tour of the heroes of British Black History and explore the contemporary issues of injustice and discrimination still facing Black people and how you can help to overcome them and establish a more just and fair society.
