Black History Month 2022
February is Black History Month, a time to celebrate the history, contributions, and culture of Black Canadians & people of African Descent. This Black History Month we are honouring Black leaders from Vancouver who are no longer with us, including prominent community leader, lifeguard and swim teacher, Joe Fortes, renowned performing artist, Thelma Towns (nee Gibson), and former basketball player with the Harlem Globetrotters, and founder of the Kitsilano Youth Basketball League, Mel “Trick” Davis. Visit our Black History Month webpage for more information about these leaders, learning resources, Black history in Vancouver, and more ➡️ https://vancouver.ca/people-programs/...
