Green Templeton flies #DIFFERENTEQUAL flag for Black History Month
Green Templeton College is proud to celebrate Black History Month 2021.
Our #DIFFERENTEQUAL campaign launched in December 2020 to signal the college’s commitment to inclusivity and promoting awareness of racism. As part of this campaign, we will be flying a #DIFFERENTEQUAL flag at the entrance to college throughout October.
The #DIFFERENTEQUAL flag displays the campaign imagery of two hands clasped together in a fist, symbolising a firm, uplifting stance and joint action against racism by all (no matter the shade of skin colour).
#DIFFERENTEQUAL lanyards and label pins are now available at The Lodge.
College members are also invited to explore the Maarifa collection in the library, which celebrates Black history, culture, writers and experiences. The collection of more than 100 books is an initiative spearheaded by Black Students’ Representative Josephine Agyeman-Duah.
Oxford University is also running a series of events for Black History Month. Visit the Black History Month at Oxford webpage for further information on these events and to view resources, further reading and projects.
Last week, the college welcomed guests for a special afternoon marking the launch of the Pirie Society.
The event celebrated the college’s new legacy society and recognised those who are considering, or have chosen, to leave a gift in their will to the college.
Their generosity will help shape the future of the college for generations to come.

The Radcliffe Observatory has stood for over 250 years.
But heritage requires care and the building now needs restoration to preserve it for future generations.
