Black History Month at U of T
The motion to officially recognize February as Black History Month (BHM) was introduced in the House of Commons in 1995 by the first Black woman elected to Parliament, the Honourable Jean Augustine. The University joins in celebrating and recognizing the change makers of African descent in Canadian history, who shaped the fabric of Canadian society and impacted innovation in all sectors including science, engineering, medicine, public health, education, politics, and the arts.
The Anti-Racism and Cultural Diversity Office invites the University of Toronto and external community members to join their upcoming programming in recognition and celebration of Black History Month.
