Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights BHM2023

CRER has co-ordinated a uniquely Scottish Black History Month during October since 2001. This encompasses the history of African, Caribbean and Asian people in this country; people who often have a direct link with Scotland through slavery, colonialism and migration. Black History Month focuses on people whose sacrifices, contributions and achievements against a backdrop of racism, inequality and injustice are often forgotten about.

We know that one month is not enough. These stories are still largely absent from our history books and education system, and we campaign to change this every month of the year.
