Each October, Black History Month is a time to honour the rich heritage, achievements, and contributions of Black communities across the UK. In 2025, the national theme “Standing Firm in Power and Pride” celebrates the resilience, strength, and unwavering commitment to progress that defines Black history and culture.
In Lewisham, we believe in celebrating Black history all year round through our Black History Lewisham 365 programme. This October, we continue to spotlight the voices, stories, and creativity of Black residents, artists, educators, and changemakers who shape our borough’s cultural life.
From community-led events and performances to exhibitions and school programmes, Black History Month in Lewisham is a powerful reminder of the past, a celebration of the present, and a commitment to a more equitable future.
