Greetings from Black Student Support and Engagement (BSSE) and the Black Heritage Month Committee!

We are thrilled to unveil the captivating theme for Black Heritage Month 2024: "Without Community, There Is No Liberation." A powerful quote from Audre Lorde. This theme has been carefully chosen to honour the ways in which individuals contribute to and liberate one another within the Black community.

Mark your calendars for our grand opening ceremony at Lakeshore Campus on Thursday, February 1. It promises to be a memorable kick-off to a month filled with enlightenment and celebration. We will also be hosting a closing ceremony on Tuesday, March 5 at the North Campus. More details to come in January 2024.

Throughout February, BSSE has curated a series of dynamic events and activities. We extend an invitation to faculty and staff to organize events that echo the central theme of "Without Community, There Is No Liberation." We also encourage the Humber community to promote their events on the BSSE Black Heritage 365 Calendar If you or your department are interested in hosting a joint event with BSSE for Black Heritage Month, please connect with BSSE at bsse@humber.ca  before Friday, January 5.

We look forward to the Humber Community embracing the spirit of Black Heritage month by also attending and sharing the events! Let's come together and make this month a celebration of unity, empowerment, and shared liberation. Your engagement and participation will contribute to the success of this meaningful celebration.
