Today is Emancipation Day and the beginning of Emancipation Month, a time to learn about the 200-year history of enslavement in Canada and its impact on Black communities today. It’s also a time to reflect on the incredible contributions of people of African descent that enrich our lives and acknowledge the tireless activism and leadership of Black communities toward dismantling anti-Black racism and racial discrimination. Learn about the history of how we recognize Emancipation Day and Month in Canada and find resources in our new blog: https://lnkd.in/gM9B4CjF
