Black History Month (BHM) has been celebrated every October in Glasgow since 2001. It is a month of celebration which brings together people of all cultures and ethnicity to celebrate the uniqueness of their heritage, the contributions and achievements made by visible minority people in Scotland.

The month long celebrations will provide a unique opportunity to educate, document and acknowledge the positive role the BME people have played in shaping Glasgow’s history. It will also provide us with the opportunity to engage in critical debate about the importance of history and its influence on our future.

We all have a lot to learn and a part to play in shaping history and making sure that Black History Month is well celebrated across Scotland.

GARA is responsible for publishing the promotional booklet for events happening in Glasgow during BHM, if any of our members groups and or individuals have any events already planned for BHM we recommend you take advantage of this free advertising opportunity.
