About the BHM

at the European University Institute

Black History Month at the EUI library

Black History Month (BHM) at the EUI is an initiative that comes from researchers of African descent who believe in the need to make Black European history visible, to stimulate a reflection on the notion of race and to address the structural imbalances that continue to shape the experience of Black people in Europe.

Since 2021, researchers and library staff have been organising events and activities in February at the EUI. They have also worked on making resources available as well as on promoting the work of EUI researchers related to Black history, post/colonialism and racial justice.

BHM at the EUI contributes to the broader initiative of Black History Month Florence (BHMF), cross-institutional network for Black cultural production that promotes the diversity of Afro-descendent cultures in the context of Italy.
