Black History Month in Montreal will shine a spotlight on ‘all that we carry’This year’s Black History Month (BHM) will take place under the theme of “all that we carry.”
Speaking at Place des Arts, members of the BHM roundtable shared February’s slate of programming, spanning exhibitions, talks, concerts, social events, and more.
They also announced a brand-new Black history book club. The book club, and the roundtable’s spotlighting of this year’s 12 community laureates, will take place year-round.
Executive Director Nadia Rousseau told reporters that it’s important to showcase stories of Montreal’s Black community outside the month of February too.
“We live as Black people, and we offer [contributions] to Quebec society… all year round.”
