Black History Month was first launched in London in 1987, where the aim was for the local community to challenge racism and educate themselves and others about the history that was not taught in schools.

The theme this year is ‘Reclaiming Narratives’ which encourages us to reflect on the importance of owning and sharing the stories that shape Black identity and culture.

Thames Valley Police want to support your events in recognising Black History Month, so please tell us about events your are holding and would like us to attend.

Thank you
