October is Black History Month and we are proud to celebrate it at Greenwich Students' Union.

The menu above will lead you to some profiles and portraits of Greenwich staff and students; resources for reading and learning; and seeing what events we're running across each campus throughout October.

The exhibition link above takes you to our online exhibit, their story, our history.

You can also join the African and Caribbean (ACS) Society at Greenwich or the Afro-Caribbean Society at Medway and take part in their activites throughout the year.

We will be adding to our events, information and exhibits throughout October. Please keep an eye on this website for more details throughout Black History Month!
