February is Black History month, a time to commemorate the history,
achievements and contributions made by Black Canadians.
Often, the stories of Black Canadians are not told. As a result, by
celebrating Black History month we deepen our understanding of our
shared history and strengthen our commitment to equality. Please take
the time to visit www.blackhistorycanada.ca learn more about the
accomplishments of Black Canadians.
We have made many strides in the labour movement and in our society to
fight discrimination. Yet there is still a great deal of work to be done
to eliminate the barriers created by racism.
The PSAC Toronto Racially Visible Committee will be exploring the
barriers faced by people of colour in politics by co-sponsoring an event
on February 28th, 2013 title “Where is our Obama?”
The event will be held in the PSAC Toronto Regional office (90 Eglinton
Avenue East, Suite 608 - boardroom) at 6 pm, in partnership with the
Workers of Colour Caucus - OPSEU, Latin American Trade Unionists
Coalition - LATUC, Asian Canadian Labour Alliance - ACLA, Coalition of
Black Trade Unionists - CBTU, and the Ontario federation of Labour -
OFL.
