EDMONTON Feb. 1 marks the beginning of Black History Month and some say 2021 will be a critical year to push for concrete action to fight discrimination and inequity. We are still dealing with issues of racism, profiling and discrimination, professor and University of Calgary Vice Provost Dr. Malinda Smith said on CTV Morning Live Edmonton. What this month is calling for people to do is actually think about the experience, the practice about what it looks like for a racial justice in our institutions, in our schools, in our curriculum. And while there is plenty to learn by looking back, there is a lot of present-day developments to acknowledge as well.
