BMCC Black History Month 2025 : Legacy in Action
Join us as we celebrate "Legacy in Action: Building the Future, Honoring the Past"—a tribute to the contributions of People of African Descent and a call to action for justice, equity, and economic empowerment.
This year, we shine a spotlight on the Second International Decade of People of African Descent, as proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly. Our focus is to honor the invaluable contributions of People of African Descent throughout history while championing actionable steps toward justice, equity, and economic empowerment.
We are also proud to host the Second Edition of the BMCC BIPOC Veterans Award. This award celebrates the sacrifices and contributions of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color veterans who have served with distinction and helped shape our communities. This year, we continue to honor their resilience, dedication, and impact on justice and freedom.
We are thrilled to welcome Nadine Williams, a Jamaican-Canadian and 4-time Multi-Award-Winning Poet, Author, Advocate, and Educator, as our distinguished keynote speaker. A passionate champion of the UN proclamation of the Second Decade of People of African Descent, Nadine’s inspiring voice and artistic vision seamlessly blend heritage, progress, and community impact. Her acclaimed art piece, "The Fabric of Our Being," a profound exploration of identity and legacy, will be exhibited at various venues across Manitoba starting February 2025, embodying the very essence of her commitment to turning heritage into meaningful action.
Join us in celebrating the profound intersection of history, culture, and progress. Together, we’ll continue to build a legacy that paves the way for a brighter future."
