The theme for Black History Month UK in 2025 is "Standing Firm in Power and Pride", which celebrates the resilience and strength of Black communities and acknowledges the profound contributions of Black leaders, activists, and pioneers while looking toward continued empowerment and growth. In contrast, the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), the organization that created Black History Month in the United States, has announced the theme "African Americans and Labor," honoring the significant and often unrecognized impact of African Americans on the nation's workforce and economy.
