Black History Month (BHM) is a great time to explore Black history and reflect on Black experiences in both the past and present during October.
The month aims to raise awareness about issues which are often neglected in history as they are not part of a popular narrative. We created a list of 5 podcasts to listen to so you can brush up on your black history.
