The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps she is taking to promote Black History Month.

Answered by Bridget Phillipson

This Government is clear: someone’s race or ethnicity should never be a barrier to opportunity. For Black History Month, we are celebrating Black British changemakers, past and present, and encouraging others to do the same.

We are also engaging with grassroots activists and community leaders, and showcasing their work on Government channels. We stand in solidarity with those affected by racism and are committed to understanding and addressing the causes of racial inequality.
