Leeds University Union is kicking off Black History Month with an evening of spoken word and performances by students focusing on the black experience in Leeds and its meaning to our student community.
This will be followed by a DJ night packed full of Dancehall, Afrobeats, UK Grime and Hip-Hop tracks!
You’ll also get a free cocktail on arrival and plenty of nibbles!
The event is absolutely free to attend, but LUU will be collecting donations for Angels of Youth, so please do donate!
