Black History Month

Posted on February 18, 2021

February marks not only the month of love but something even bigger it’s Black History Month. For 2021 the theme is, “The Future Is Now.”

“The Future is Now” is a chance to celebrate and acknowledge the transformative work that Black Canadians and their communities are doing now. For the month of February, there are many activities and resources that you can tap into to learn more. Check out the Government of Canada’s website to learn more about Black History Month. There you can find out past and present people that have helped shape and change our country. Let us do our part to bring change, to recognize, love, and stop hate.

Roots: The Saga of an American FamilyMy husband’s grandparents immigrated from Jamaica to Canada. We have three children, I want to ensure they are educated about their heritage. This week I said three words to my 6-year-old son, Black History Month. The questions came one after the other. I knew it was my time to do my part by educating myself more so that I can educate him better. Let’s do our part together to make this world a better and equal place. This month I will read, “Roots: The Saga of the American Family” by Alex Hayley.

A few other recommended reads are:
Frying Plantain by Zalinka Reid-Bente
A Promised Land by Barack Obama
The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas
