What's on for Black History Month 2025

Location: LSE Campus, TBC to ticketholders

Hosted by the London School of Economics and Political Science, and LSE Students' Union.

Four decades after the Broadwater Farm uprising, the events of October 1985 continue to resonate in the ongoing struggle against systemic racism.

This event explores legal, political and community-based racial justice work that emerged from these events, examining methods of resistance that continue to address present-day questions of race, racism and social inequality.

Join Jake Subryan Richards as he discusses the research and creative process behind the award-winning Black Atlantic exhibition which will be coming to LSE in October.

The exhibition, which was first shown at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, reveals the stories that have been silenced from history, not just stories of exploitation, but those of resilience and liberation, too. It shows how through resisting colonial slavery, people produced new cultures known as the Black Atlantic, that continue to shape our world.

Join LSE EmbRace and Anna Gifty Opoku-Aguman to discuss her new book called The Double Tax.

The Double Tax is a journey of uncovering the everyday costs women face. Throughout the book, Anna Gifty discovers that not only do women spend more money, time, and effort than men, but also that Black and white women lead vastly different lives, marked by gaps in beauty, motherhood, career, and more. Between conversations with hundreds of women and studies outlining the many price tags of womanhood, Anna Gifty charts a path forward that centers women without leaving anyone behind.

Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman is a doctoral candidate at Harvard Kennedy School studying public policy and economics. She is a doctoral fellow for the National Science Foundation, Ford Foundation, Center for Black Entrepreneurship, Roosevelt Institute, Russell Sage Foundation, and Stone Program in Wealth Distribution, Inequality & Social Policy and a graduate affiliate at Harvard Kennedy School’s Women and Public Policy Center and the Institute for Quantitative Science.

Registration for this event will open in early September. Keep an eye out here!

An event held for International Mens Day by LSE EmbRace, LSE's staff network for ethnic minority staff.
