Welcome to Black History Month!

Scroll down this page for a whole month dedicated to celebrating and remembering the ways Black people have contributed to our history. This program is a chance to learn about African-Canadian/American culture and is a starting point with resources to further explore Black history!

Dear God,
In a world that could do with a lot more love
and a lot less hate, show me how to spread
your love and goodness.
Amen
