Black History Interruptions

“Black History” Interruptions! is a programme of events in collaboration between the Learning Skills programme, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London and the Centre for Race, Education, and Decoloniality, Leeds Beckett University.

The programme is designed to challenge ideas of segregated histories and the normalisation of the absence of Black History from the curriculum and our national consciousness.

The programme of events aim to disrupt these concepts by offering platforms for a variety of co located ‘interruptions’ across London and Leeds.

This year the programme will be purely online. Follow #BHInterruptions on social media
