Black History

During Black History Month we honour the work and the legacy, both past and present, of people of African heritage from around the world. It is an opportunity to learn about untold stories, to challenge altered histories, and to think deeply about Black identity. Join us as we celebrate the achievements and contributions of all people of African descent.
