"Duty and Honour "
Black History Month
Exhibition Questions 2025
This year, as part of our celebrations, we are curating a special exhibition titled “Duty and Honour”, dedicated to men and women from the African and Caribbean diaspora who have served, are currently serving, or who are training in the Armed Forces.
The exhibition will:
-
Celebrate achievements and highlight the contributions of service personnel.
-
Pay tribute to those who have inspired and paved the way for future generations.
-
Inspire young people by showing them real stories and examples of service, reminding them that there is a place for them in this profession.
Building on that success of last year's exhibition honouring midwives and nurses, we're shining that spotlight on the lives and legacies of those in the Armed Forces. The Exhibition will be displayed at the Black History Month Cultural Pop up Market and Workshop Weekend in October and will then make it's way around local schools.
This tribute is both significant and necessary. It connects past and present, honours sacrifice, and ensures that future generations see themselves represented in stories of service, courage, and dedication.
