“As Black History Month begins, New Democrats join Canadians in celebrating and honouring the legacy of Black Canadians, past and present.
Despite the countless achievements and contributions to our society, Black Canadians are often missing from our history books and their sacrifices are not well known or recognized.
Black History Month is an opportunity for all Canadians to gain insight into the experiences of Black Canadians and to recognize their vital role in making Canada the culturally diverse, compassionate and thriving country it is today.
