A non-profit in the province of Quebec is celebrating three decades of “highlighting the journeys and success of Black communities, to build bridges with others.” The Round Table on Black History Month has unveiled a broad range of activities which will take place throughout the month of February 2021.
Because of the pandemic, the public will be invited to get to know Black culture in all its forms online. There will be shows, exhibitions, conferences and screenings.
“Yes, the pandemic has separated us but in other ways, we have never felt so connected through the goal of achieving equity and adequate representation in the various spheres of society,” noted Black History Month Coordinator Carla Beauvais. “A wind of change is blowing, and a global movement of solidarity drives this 30th edition of Black History Month.”
