The motion

That the Parliament welcomes Black History Month, which will be celebrated throughout October 2023; notes that the 2023 Black History Month will be dedicated to honouring the achievements of black women who, it believes, are often forgotten heroines; understands that Black History Month is an event that recognises and celebrates what it sees as the invaluable contributions of black people to British society; considers that it serves as an opportunity to inspire and empower future generations; believes that the theme of the 2023 Black History Month, Saluting our Sisters, highlights the crucial role that black women have played in shaping history, inspiring change and building communities, and recognises that the aim of Black History Month is to learn about the effects of racism and challenge negative stereotypes.
