New Westminster Schools celebrates Black Excellence Day
New Westminster Schools and other districts in B.C. are celebrating Black Excellence Day this year on January 15!
Black Excellence Day leads up to Black History Month and is an opportunity to rejoice in Black history and learn about Black stories, Black art and Black people. This special day lets us stand in solidarity with Black Canadians everywhere.
Supporting Black Excellence highlights the contributions Black Canadians have made – and still make – to our society. It also spotlights their ongoing civil rights struggle to be acknowledged in our history books and school curriculum.
