🗓️ Today, February 28, 2025, marks the culmination of Black Histories Month | African Heritage Month✊🏽 in Canada, a period of deep reflection and celebration. 💪🏽 As I stand at this threshold, I acknowledge the complex tapestry of our shared history, the historic highs that have illuminated the path towards progress, and the somber lows that remind me of the persistent struggles yet to be overcome, both within our borders and across Turtle Island. 🙌🏽 This past month has been a time for amplifying voices, sharing stories, and honouring the adaptive capabilities and contributions of Black Canadians. From local community gatherings to national dialogues, I've witnessed the power of collective remembrance and the vital importance of continued education. 🌱🌸 As we close this chapter of celebration and remembrance, let us carry forward the spirit of Black Histories Month | African Heritage Month into every aspect of our lives. I encourage you to commit to challenging prejudice, elevating and centring the voices of Black Canadians, and working tirelessly to build a Canada where everyone has the opportunity to flourish. 💡Because, ultimately, the truth resounds: Black history is Canadian history. It is woven into the fabric of our nation, shaping our identity and enriching our collective experience. Let us honour that truth, not just in February, but EVERY DAY of the year. 💫 #LegacyandLeadership #BHM2025 #BlackHistoriesMonth #Canada #AfricanDiaspora Pinnacle Educational Services Michael Smith N.B.: The image is AI-generated. 🤖
