Every August, we recognize Emancipation Month, the struggle for human rights, and the rich contributions made by Peoples of African descent. We acknowledge an abhorrent period in our shared history and our ongoing commitment to eliminate discrimination of all kinds.
Here in Toronto, many events throughout the month feature live music, spoken word & dance performances, food, art, and much more celebrating the resilience, contributions and achievements of Black communities in the City.
