Black History Month

Posted on February 12, 2023

Black History Month also known as African American History Month originated in the United States 53 years ago. Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom all observe it for the month of February.  Black History Month uses four colours, red, black, green and yellow.  These colours represent unity and pride. In 1979, Toronto became the first municipality in Canada to celebrate Black History Month.

There are many great resources to learn more:

One book I read that I would recommend if you want to dive in deep and get into the history is ‘Roots the Saga of an American Family’ by Alex Haley.  There is also a mini-documentary series based on his book.
