Throughout February, a Black History Month book display invited students to learn about the history, achievements and impact of Black Canadians and Black communities.

The display featured influential figures and quotations alongside guiding questions that encouraged reflection on stereotypes, identity and representation. Through fiction, memoirs, poetry and non-fiction books, learners explored personal stories and historical experiences that added depth to their understanding of Canada’s history and its diverse communities.

By making these books visible and easy to access, the display encouraged reading and discussion and prompted thoughtful consideration of different perspectives. The collection offered an opportunity for further learning about Black culture and lived experiences, reinforcing the importance of equity, respect and inclusion within the school community.
