Look out for our Black History Month Leaflet at selected London Underground stations through October.
We are delighted to mark Black History Month with a selection of poems by Black poets with close links to England, Scotland, North America, the Caribbean and Africa. The poets include Nobel Prizewinners, poet laureates and performance artists, all reflecting in different ways on their individual experience.
We hope you enjoy the wonderful range, artistry and continued relevance of these poems, which over time have reached the three million daily travellers on London’s Underground system.
We start this month’s poems with a selection of poems that have featured on London Underground since 2020, and follow this with all the poems that are in our Black History Month Leaflet in their original poster form.
