Sharing Knowledge
Humber College is committed to fostering a respectful and inclusive culture in which all members of the College community study, work and live free from discrimination and harassment. The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion (Centre) will be providing definitions of key terms and concepts pertinent to our work in building a more inclusive College.
Black/African History is Everybody’s History
Humber supports the recognition and celebration of the history of Black/African peoples 365 days of the year. This year we celebrate “Black/African Heritage Month”, which reflects emerging terminology that aims to recognize the history of the Black/African community, along with present and future achievements.
In 1995, Canada officially recognized ‘Black History Month’ following a motion introduced by the first Black Canadian woman elected to Parliament, the Honourable Jean Augustine. For many Canadians, recognizing Black/African History Month provided a doorway into the culture and experience of Black/African peoples. Many Black/African Canadians have also shared that Black History Month has a disproportionate focus on the past and narratives of slavery and colonialism. There have been calls for a shift that recognizes the past, but also celebrates the present and imagines a radical, bold and bright future for Black Canadians (Heritage, 2021).
To celebrate and honor the history of Black/African peoples, we will post a series of educational pieces entitled "Black/African History is Everybody’s History: Did You Know?" in the Communiqué.
Black/African History is Everybody’s History: Did You Know?
Did you know that even though the House of Commons recognized ‘Black History Month’ in 1995 it was not until 2008 that the Senate of Canada did the same? You can find more information here: About Black History Month - Canada.ca

Humber College’s Archives recently completed cataloguing a transfer of archival material from Humber’s Orangeville Campus, which was sent to the Archives as operations wound up there last June.
The Orangeville Archival Collection includes 1,328 photographs, 118 files of information, memorabilia (shirts, trophies, etc), and other material, all of which will help preserve the legacy and tell the story of the Orangeville campus. You can now explore the finished catalogue, as well as a few digitized items, online. The non-digitized files and items listed in the catalogue are now accessible by contacting the Archives at archives@humber.ca.
