Black Canadians | History, Presence, and Anti-Racist Futures

Developed by the University of Alberta and presented in partnership with the Africans & African Descendant Friendship Club of St. Albert, this four-week learning series highlights the major histories, migrations, artists, and activists that have shaped and sustained Black life in Canada.

This micro-course is offered as a four-part series. Registration includes all sessions, and attendees are encouraged to participate in the full program.

Facilitated by Toni Harrison 

Toni Harrison is an anti-racist speaker who has been invited by schools across Alberta to speak on racism and anti-racism from a personal, community, and historical perspective. His dedication to anti-racism stems from his own experiences coupled with an understanding of racism’s impacts on himself and others. He has educated parents, students, teachers, administrators, and community members on the importance of having these vital conversations. And how to take from these conversations concrete actions to move the needle forward on building a more inclusive society.
