The theme for Black History Month 2024 is Black Excellence: A Heritage to Celebrate; a Future to Build.   Did you know that during World War 1, Black women formed the Black Cross Nurses to fill a gap in health care? This Black History Month, we salute the resilience and dedication of Black Canadians who and are shaping our medical landscape. However, Black History Month is also a time for reflection. Black Canadians continue to face health barriers and inequities in the health care system.   Alberta's PCNs are committed to providing a safe space for everyone to receive compassionate and inclusive health care, regardless of colour, gender, orientation, or background. Your well-being is our priority, and we work with health care professionals who strive to create an environment where everyone feels heard, valued, and cared for.   #BHM2024

To celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, the NPQ team brings together the stories we’ve published that celebrate Black culture and success along the journey toward true freedom. In the article, “One Nation Under a Groove: How to Build a Black Future Through Strong, Black-Led Community Organizations”, Shawn Ginwright of Flourish Agenda, Inc. highlights how, to strive for the future we want, Black nonprofit leaders must lean into the practice of Black future thinking and action, creating new paradigms to address our ongoing problems: https://bit.ly/3ujzLgb

Juneteenth is a day to celebrate Black freedom, resilience, belonging, and hope, as it marks the day that ended the enslavement of Black people throughout the United States. Today, we can see how the inequities experienced by the Black community in the U.S. have been shaped by a long and systemic history of racial injustice and the extraction of labor from Black people. Despite our country’s painful legacy of racism, Black citizens have persisted and built thriving, vibrant communities. But there is still work to do—by all. In order to build a more just and equitable society, we must directly address these ongoing impacts through the systems, structures, and policies that have perpetuated such inequitable conditions and outcomes. As we celebrate and honor Juneteenth, let it also remind us that a new legacy is possible—and we all have a role to play in achieving it.
