Join Us for Black History Month: Standing Firm in Power and Pride
At UWE Bristol, diversity is not just a word; it's a celebration of strength, unity, and empowerment. This October, we invite you to stand with us as we commemorate Black History Month. It's a time to honor the incredible contributions of Black individuals, communities, and cultures to our shared history.
The Black Hall of Fame at UWE is a celebration of the remarkable achievements of Black students and staff, recognising their success and impact beyond Black History Month. Now in its sixth year, this initiative was originally led by previous Students’ Union President Precious Onyenekwu Tatah. The Hall of Fame honours individuals who have not only excelled academically but have also overcome racial biases and made meaningful contributions to society.
This year (2025/26), our project is led by the Current Black Minority Ethnic Officer Mo Ebengho to celebrate the importance of diversity and inclusion. It shines a light on the resilience, strength, and brilliance of the Black community at UWE, ensuring their achievements are celebrated all year round. More than just a recognition event, the Hall of Fame is a platform for inspiring future generations. It sends a powerful message that diversity enriches the academic environment and strengthens the university community, encouraging others to strive for excellence in their own journeys.
