Celebrate Black History Month!

Join us for an evening to celebrate diversity and start a discussion about how we can all help promote diversity and inclusion. The evening will include talks, a film, and plenty of discussion about how we can all help to challenge structual inequalities and create a more equal society.

We will be showing a film, based on a true story, that helps portray the story of a group of African-American female mathematicians that served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in U.S. history.

Following the film representatives of Central Bedfordshire Youth Parliament will host some discussion around their campaign; Black Lives Matter. As we think about how we can all contribute and make a difference to ensure diversity is valued and embraced across all members of our society.
