Black History Month October 2025

Mind in Brighton and Hove will be supporting Black History Month during October through its website and social media. This year the theme is “Standing Firm in Power and Pride,” a powerful tribute to the resilience, strength, and unwavering commitment to progress that defines the Black community across the globe.

This year, the theme highlights the profound contributions made by Black people be they leaders, activists, or pioneers who have shaped history, while also looking towards a future of continued empowerment, unity, and growth.

This year’s theme is not only about remembrance but a call to action. It invites individuals and communities to stand firm in their power with pride and to actively shape a world where Black voices are heard, valued, and celebrated.

Black History Month 2025 is a celebration of power and pride, inviting everyone to stand firm in both and continue the work of shaping an inclusive world.

You can also visit an exhibition featuring the portraits and short biographies of the Black philosophers whose academic work, speeches, publications and pioneering activist roles had a profound worldwide influence on many future artists, professionals and activists from all backgrounds – not limited to Black followers. The exhibition features 11 female and 7 male philosophers.

Throughout October, EuroMernet Film Club will also screen drama and documentary films on Black History, including films about the life and legacy of some of the philosophers who were featured in the exhibition.

National Mind also has information on finding a wide range of support and information during Black History Month and beyond. Mental health support during Black History Month
