Our annual Black History Summit for 2023 took place in Ulster University’s Magee campus, Derry, on October 21 2023.

Around 100 people gathered in the Great Hall to hear why the diverse experiences of black and minority ethnic communities and individuals should be taught as part of the school curriculum.

Among the speakers was Dr Ebun Joseph along with Dr Hyab Yohannes and Professor Charlotte Williams who travelled from Wales for the Summit.

Those in attendance were told that it was really important the lessons from the event did not stay in the room.

“Share them with your families, friends, share them on your social media,” said our Chief Executive Lilian Seenoi Barr.

“The more we share, the greater the chance we have of building a more inclusive society.”
