Oluwadamilola Ojo can only remember spending a handful of classroom hours learning about Canada’s Black history everything else she knows has been self-taught. It’s a little bit embarrassing on the Manitoba government, because Winnipeg in particular is full of immigrants… and we don’t even know the history of Black Canadians, said Ojo, 17, the leader of Black History Month events at St. Mary’s Academy.
The Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations awarded actress, director, and producer Taraji P. Henson its Artist of the Year award at its annual Cultural Rhythms event earlier this month.
The ceremony, which took place on April 1, concluded the 35th installment of Cultural Rhythms, an event the Foundation holds annually to showcase and celebrate cultural and ethnic diversity at the College. The show features student performances and a celebration of the Artist of the Year. Past honorees include Shakira and Denzel H. Washington.
During the ceremony, Director of the College’s Office of Diversity Education and Support Robin M. Johnson said the foundation honored Henson for her contributions to both the entertainment industry and public conversations around race and mental health.
