The horrific enslavement of Black/African peoples was not so long ago.
This is the second post to call attention to the fallacy that slavery was so long ago, and as such, Black people ought to just forget about it and move on. Not so long ago, many Blacks were owned by Whites. Many Blacks were refused access to education, places to live, good jobs, dignity, fair policing, fair child welfare, justice in the courts and the list goes on. Much of this lack (blocking) of access continues.
Do you know that slavery was so recent that there are still living children of former slaves? You can read more here: Son of a slave reflects on the lessons he learned from his father (msn.com)
New episode of the Staff Lounge Podcast!
Confronting Anti-Black Racism in the Classroom
February is Black History Month and Black History is everyone's history. To recognize and honour the legacy and contributions of Black Canadians and to learn more about how Humber is acknowledging and celebrating Black History Month, our host, Shirantha Beddage, met with Morris Beckford, Manager, Education & Training in the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion.
In this honest and thought provoking conversation, we reflect on how deeply entrenched anti-Black racism is in education and how individual faculty members and educational institutions can respond to anti-Black racism and create a more just and honest educational system.
“Transformation is about getting to a space where we're living the values we tell ourselves that we're supposed to be living—so values of equity, values of inclusion, building a sense of belonging for everybody. For me transformation is digging deep and going to the heart of why we got to this horrible place, in the first place. It's making sure we understand it so we don't do it again. That to me is what transformation really looks like." — Morris Beckford, Manager, Education & Training, Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion.

Map the System is a global competition that challenges us to think differently about social and environmental change. Rather than jumping straight into a solution or a quick fix, Map the System invites students from all academic disciplines to use ‘systems thinking’ to understand complex social and environmental challenges.
This is Humber’s third year participating in the competition, with 112 teams and over 200 students from across all faculties registered. We are looking for Humber staff and faculty to mentor student teams. Come join the movement!
What does mentoring involve?
You will support student teams as they undertake systems research and mapping of a social or environmental challenge.
When will this happen?
Mentoring will take place from late February - early April 2022. Mentorship guidelines and questions will be provided during the matching process, which can be negotiated between the mentor and team depending on the amount of support teams are looking for.
What does this mean for you?
Your assistance and support of student’s systems-change research is greatly appreciated. In return for your time, you will receive our heartfelt thanks and a gift card!
If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please fill in this short form by Wednesday February 23, 2022. If you have any questions please contact Sara Hassan at sara.hassan@humber.ca.
