Black History Month 2022

Hate Crime Awareness Week 2022 coincides with #BlackHistoryMonth, a celebration of the contributions of black people to communities across Scotland.

While #BHM is a time for celebration, it is also a time to remember how we can all appropriately support people in BAME communities who have been victims of hate crime.

The Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights (CRER) have a number of exhibitions, events and informative talks taking place across Scotland throughout the month of October.
