LGBT Black History Month October 2016
Our Black History Month resource for 2016 focuses on recognising and challenging prejudice within our communities and on encouraging young people to see their collective responsibility and potential for helping to create spaces where all people feel welcome, respected and valued. The resource features a mix of fun and simple activities to help explore complex topics around race, gender and sexuality; to be used with youth groups, schools, colleges and staff teams too!
Resource packs from previous years are still available:
In the UK we dedicate October to exploring and learning about the rich history of Black peoples and communities; a section of history that is often overlooked, mis-represented and poorly documented, much like February where we dedicate the month to exploring and uncovering lost and hidden LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*) histories. Up until now, there has been little cross over between the two months, leaving untouched a huge gap in the history that we are learning and teaching about.
We invite you to explore Black History Month with an LGBT twist!
