Black History Month 2023

29th September 2023
In our assembly on Friday 29.9.23, we talked about Black History Month (BHM), which takes place each October.  Over the coming weeks, we will be learning about some influential Black people whose stories and achievements may have been overlooked.
 
The theme for BHM this year is 'Saluting Our Sisters', so we will be especially interested in learning about the achievements and influence in society of Black women.
 
Today, to start off our thinking about BHM, we learned about a couple of people with a Cambridge connection:  Amy Ida King and Jason Arday.  They are two out of 12 people with a connection to Cambridge featured in a 'Cambridge Black History' colouring book created by Selena Scott, who is from Cambridge.  Have a look below at the slides from our assembly.
