Submissions now open for Black History Month 2026!

Black History Month (BHM) across Glasgow and Scotland has been co-ordinated by the Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights (CRER) since 2001. BHM gives an opportunity to bring together people of all cultures and ethnicities to celebrate the key role that African, Caribbean and Asian people have played in Scottish history and society.

Throughout October, CRER sets out to broaden understanding and knowledge around the achievements and resilience shown by African, Caribbean and Asian and other adversely racialised communities in Glasgow and across Scotland. BHM further aims to shine a light on the key role Black and minority ethnic communities and individuals have played in influencing Scotland’s past and present.

CRER in collaboration with a diverse group of organisations and individuals organise a wide range of events, activities, and workshops. CRER is delighted to invite you to be a part of this and to take part in Black History Month 2026. Please share this with anyone you think would be interested in submitting an event. 

The deadline for submitting events will be Friday 17th July 2026. 

Please submit your plans for events and activities by completing the form on our submissions page and returning it to amy@crer.org.uk
