“The university is a critical institution or it is nothing”.
This page is a collaboration between the University of Brighton Libraries and Students Union to celebrate Black History Month.
Throughout October we will be adding more resources to this page. We would love to hear your recommendations for books to add to our libraries or simply to appear on our virtual display.
"Hi!
With the official Black History Month 2021 theme being 'Proud to be', I wanted to share quotes by Black people of whom I am very proud. Alongside the description of the person or group you’ll find library resources that are associated with their work and impact so you can explore a little further.

We're an anti-racist university, and we'll continue working with you and for you in tackling racial inequality. By standing together as one community, we can create lasting change. As part of our commitment, we've put together a series Black History Month talks, which we hope you take every opportunity to join. We each must educate ourselves about Black history and culture in order to confront racism and stand in solidarity against it.
