African History and Liberation Celebration
Each February, Black History and Liberation Month is observed in Canada, and 2024 marks the last of these months to fall during the United Nations’ Decade for People of African Descent, with a focus on recognition, justice and development. To mark this landmark February, scholar Dr. Beverly-Jean Daniel will deliver a keynote presentation on moving beyond the interruption of enslavement to reconceptualize and reclaim African historical narratives.
This event is presented in collaboration with Memorial University’s Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism.
Tickets: $12 (+HST). Please reserve your ticket online or by calling 709-757-8090.
