The University of Manchester Presents: “Brilliant and Black” with Professor Gary Younge

The month of October has been celebrated as Black History Month (BHM) in the UK since 1987. This national celebration aims to recognise and celebrate Black British achievement, and foster general knowledge and understanding of Black history.
This year we are honoured to welcome Professor of Sociology, award-winning author, broadcaster and columnist Gary Younge, to deliver this year’s keynote presentation ‘The Fire This Time’ - a perspective on race inequality and the current Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.
Following the keynote address, Gary will be joined by Professor Nalin Thakkar - Vice-President for Social Responsibility at University of Manchester and Naa Acquah - alumna and former General Secretary of University of Manchester Students Union.
