Black History Month: Learning Opportunities

Time for Change: Action Not Words

Throughout Black History Month it is important to highlight some of the opportunities available when learning about Black History. This year’s theme is ‘Time for Change: Action Not Words’.  Completing online learning is one of the many ways that you can take action. Learning allows people to be connected to important moments in history, as well as taking the time to see how far we’ve come and where there is still work to do.
