ACADEMICS, students and the public will step back in time with a series of lectures and exhibitions at York University to mark Black History Month.
The month has been observed in the US since 1926, and in Britain since the late 1980s.
Black in Time is the theme of a series of four free lectures by a series of academic experts, beginning tomorrow at 7pm.
The university's Borthwick Institute will also be presenting an exhibition of documents, called Black History in the Archives, which will look at the 18th and 19th Centuries. It runs until November 18.
An exhibition of African arts and clothing will be on display in the university's Norman Rea Gallery.
One of the students, Bukky Ojo, a member of the university's Afro-Caribbean Society, has helped to co-ordinate the display, which ends on October 20.
