The motion

That the Parliament notes that October is Black History Month, and welcomes the planned events and initiatives across the country to mark it; celebrates the vital role and contribution that black and minority ethnic people have played in the history of this country; believes that the continued learning and understanding of black and minority ethnic history will assist in the promotion of integration and respect in Scottish communities; acknowledges the work of community groups and organisations in promoting Black History Month, and their determination to bring all communities together; acknowledges the rise in the number of ethnic minority MSPs in the Scottish Parliament, but considers that more must be done for democratic institutions to reflect communities in Scotland.
