Amplifying Black Voices
For too long, the economic and cultural contributions of the Black African and Caribbean communities have been treated as a peripheral social issue, rather than a core driver of our regional and national prosperity. We created the Bristol Black History Month Magazine to change this narrative. Operating as a trusted, year-round civic equity platform, the magazine was built to connect authentic community voices with institutional accountability. We do not offer symbolic visibility. Instead, we showcase the past, present, and future realities of Black communities, framing them as the architects of modern Britain and a central pillar of the future economy.

A Century of Black History
Black History Month 2026 Marks a monumental milestone, A Century of Black History. This year, themed ‘Black Resistance, ” Standing Firm in Power and Pride” we move beyond symbolic visibility to salute 100 years of resilience, innovation, and the invaluable contributions of Black Bristolians who have shaped our city’s literature, music, enterprise, and politics.
2027 Magazine Pre-Order
Help Us Commission the Next Archive Edition.
Black history does not document itself.
It takes writers, photographers, designers, editors, researchers and storytellers to turn community memory into something people can hold, read, share and pass on.
At the moment, there is no budget to produce a 2026 Bristol Black History Month magazine. That is why this pre-order campaign matters.
Your order is not simply a purchase. It is an early commitment that helps us build the production budget, commission Black creative talent and create the next Bristol Black History Month Archive Edition with the care, quality and ambition it deserves.
As we mark 100 years of Black History commemorations and look ahead to 40 years of Black History Month in the UK, this is a chance to invest in the people who will document this moment properly.
