Black History Lewisham 365

Find out about our year-round commitment to supporting Lewisham's Black communities through our Black History Lewisham 365 programme.

Black History Month takes place every October and is a time to celebrate, reflect on and learn about the histories, cultures, achievements and contributions of Black communities in the UK and around the world. It is also an opportunity to explore the experiences, stories and legacies that continue to shape our society today.

Black History Month listings will be posted in late Summer 2027. 

Black History Month 365

While it is important to acknowledge the national Black History Month campaign each October, in Lewisham we believe in celebrating and championing Black history, culture and communities throughout the year. From Windrush Day and SEEN Lewisham to grassroots projects led by Lewisham residents and organisations, we are committed to amplifying Black voices and stories across the borough.
