BHM 2023

COME TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE BLACK HISTORY

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS EVENT

• Black history month(BHM) in the UK is celebrated in October. The reason as to why we are celebrating this important month in St margaret's Academy is to express the richness of black culture and to acknowledge the black community here at St margarets.

In St margaret's we beleive that:

She continues to lead the fight against racism, patriarchal oppression, war, incarceration, and the death penalty

She was an American political activist, professor, and author who was an active member in the Communist Party and the Black Panther Party

Can you guess who these people are based on their descriptions ?

He was a spokesman for the Nation of Islam and was a vocal advocate for Black empowerment and the promotion of Islam within the Black community.

She was a socail activist and American abolitionist She was born a slave in around 1820. At age five or six, she began to work as a house servant and on the fields.

She worked for the Union Army, first as a cook and nurse, then as an armed scout and spy. She is particulary well known for excorting a huge number of slaves to freedom.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” -MALCOM X
