Black History Month 2018 starts today. This year’s Government of Canada campaign theme is Black Canadian Women: Stories of Strength, Courage and Vision. #BHM2018 (via @CdnHeritage) Every February, Canadians are invited to participate in Black History Month festivities and events that honour the legacy of Black Canadians, past and present. Canadians learn about the experience of Black Canadians and their vital role in the community.
