Students greet each other with a hug October marks Black History Month across the globe. Originating in the USA, it is a yearly observance that started out as a way to recognise the African-American community's contributions to American society and has since grown to become an international affair that champions and celebrates black people of all backgrounds allover the world.

"It is a time to reflect on historical racism and celebrate black excellence, black joy and black achievement"
