Each October, the Â鶹´«Ã½ comes together to celebrate Black History Month. It's a time to reflect, learn, and honour the contributions of Black people in shaping British history, culture, and society.
This year, through a series of events and community engagement, we created spaces to educate, inspire, and strengthen our commitment to equality and inclusion.
The national theme for Black History Month 2025 was Standing Firm in Power and Pride. The theme called on us to celebrate Black identity with confidence, courage, and creativity.
At Reading, we proudly explored the theme through a series of events and resources that highlighted the resilience, leadership, and achievements of Black people across generations.
Find out about the events taking place across the University for this year's Black History Month.
