Hi Jean-Francois, This Black History Month’s theme is #ProudToBe, coordinated by the Black History Month Organisation. We are proud to share our Stonewall x Black History Month hub, which is filled with essential articles and resources to learn about Black LGBTQ+ lives and histories, how to be a better ally, and the legacy of Black queer activism.  Black people have always been at the centre of the LGBTQ+ liberation movement, from Marsha P. Johnson and Stormé DeLarverie, who were major figures in the Stonewall uprisings of 1969, to modern day leaders like Munroe Bergdorf and Lady Phyll.
