Black History Month is a time for us to come together to honour contributions, achievements, and lived experiences of Black Canadians. It is also an opportunity to collectively listen, engage, and learn about Black Canadian histories and the cultures of newcomers, which greatly contribute to society. Throughout February, we'll be sharing events, stories, and profiles celebrating the work of Black researchers, faculty, students and alumni who are leading with purpose. #UAlberta #BlackHistoryMonth ualberta.ca/equity-diversi…
