Celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth
St Peter's is unique amongst Oxford colleges, having had Black undergraduates in our community right from our initial foundation in 1929.
We are proud to celebrate the Black members of our community, past and present. We hope to continue to capture their varied, and often inspiring stories, which offer insights into the diverse and global legacies of the College experience.
Throughout the year, and especially during Black History Month, we are pleased to celebrate the ongoing legacy and impact of our Black students and alumni.
