Black History Month: Celebrating Black Voices

Black History Month in the UK is marked in October when we take the time to educate ourselves about Black history, and how this shapes the lives of Black people today. Join us for this panel, where we'll be discussing the importance of Black History Month, hearing about how discrimination still affects the Black community - and how we as allies can work to prevent this - and stories from Black history that teach us more about the societies we live in.

This panel is sponsored by WTW and Unilever.
