We're celebrating Black History Month UK 🎉 Huge thank you to our incredible Black Professionals Resource Group (BPRG) for coordinating a month of inspiring events across our UK campuses, which align to this year’s #BlackHistoryMonthUK theme of ‘Reclaiming Narratives’. Sidney Wager, Co-Chair of the BPRG: "Reclaiming Narratives is one of the most compelling themes of recent years, as it speaks to the correction of misconceptions of Black history and culture. It's a genuine opportunity to shine a brighter light on untold success stories and illustrate the full extent of Black communities across the UK. We are overwhelmed by the opportunity to use our platform to narrate this journey with powerful guest speakers and events, giving everyone a chance to explore, evolve, and discover the full complexity of Black heritage."
