The Lady Ademola Lecture is an annual event in honour of Kofoworola Ademola (née Moore) (1913–2002), who arrived at St Hugh’s College in 1932 to study English and in 1935 became the first Black African woman to receive a degree from Oxford. Lady Ademola, as Kofoworola would become, was a lifelong advocate for women’s education and social reform.
This year, the Lecture will take place during Black History Month, providing a national opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the history, achievements, and lasting contributions of Black communities to British society and culture. Throughout the month, organisations across the country mark the occasion with events, talks, and educational activities that encourage reflection, learning, and dialogue.
