October marks Black History Month (BHM). It’s an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of the black community, and a time for continued action to tackle racism and ensure that black history is represented all year round.

Black history is being made every day in all sorts of ways. To shine a spotlight on this, NTU is hosting a range of exciting events and activities during October, both in-person and online.
