Learning the art of Lasagna in foods today.
Last January, many people across Canada wore black shirts to call attention to the need for greater focus on education around Black history and the need to confront racial inequality. This year, January 14 marks Canada’s first Black Excellence Day.
In education, we need to learn more about Black history, a history that has long been ignored, erased, or whitewashed. A theme you’ve seen again and again in our gallery displays and in your classroom learning, Eagles, is “know better, do better”. We know that Black excellence and history have largely been missing from our curriculum. We know the extent to which the contributions of Black academics, politicians, and activists have been silenced. Now, we need to do better, to educate ourselves to help carve out a more inclusive, respectful, diverse perspective. We need to stamp out the racism that pervades so many systems and structures in our lives through better, more authentic education.
Last year, we wore black shirts to mark our commitment to learning about Black history and achievement. In consultation with various cultural groups, however, we now realize that the wearing of black shirts is a harsh reminder of traumatic experiences for Holocaust survivors. This is part of “know better, do better”. We change as we learn. The wearing of black shirts as a show of support is no longer recommended.
Remember that it’s not enough to hashtag #Black Excellence Day or wear a Black Lives Matter shirt as simply a performative, empty act. This Friday, show that you honour Black excellence and understand the need for a more inclusive education around Black history by engaging in learning. This Friday, show that you are an anti-racist with a renewed dedication to focusing on a more inclusive understanding of the world that honours and respects Black excellence.
