Black History month has been celebrated every February for decades. This year, the Students of Colour Collective (SOCC) is holding four events intended to educate and celebrate Black identity and history on the lands known as Canada and North America.
The Students of Colour Collective is an advocacy group that aims to “promote and support cultural diversity on campus.” Ruth Nakalyowa, the current coordinator of the Students of Colour Collective, says that although the group focuses mostly on students, there has been a move recently to support the Greater Victoria community as a whole.
“We work to represent and support the BIPOC community, Black and Indigenous Persons of Colour, and we prioritize UVic students, but we are branching out and supporting folks in the BIPOC community in Greater Victoria,” Nakalyowa said.
