Celebrating and honouring Black History Month at UHN – UHN
February 29, 2024
February is Black History Month. This year, the Government of Canada’s theme, “Black Excellence: A Heritage to Celebrate; A Future to Build,” honours Black peoples’ past, present and future accomplishments.
On Feb. 20, the Black Legacy Committee (BLC) at UHN hosted its third event of The Colour of Proper Care speaker series, which created a space to reflect on multidimensional ancestral legacies.
In 2024, the 10th year of the International Decade for People of African Descent is being marked. It invites reflection on the global African Diaspora and its remarkable impact on Canadian and world history. The African Diaspora is the voluntary and involuntary movement of Africans and their descendants to various parts of the world during the modern and pre-modern periods.
It is essential to appreciate and acknowledge the historic and ongoing contributions of Black people in Canada as foundational to our health care system and society.
