This year’s Black History Month theme is “Reclaiming Narratives.” The aim is to shine a brighter light on stories, allegories, and histories that underscore our commitment to correcting historical inaccuracies and showcasing the untold success stories and the full complexity of black heritage.
Our friends at Twinkl have kindly put together some free resources to celebrate Black History Month and illustrate this message.
