February Black History Month
February 13, 2026
While history includes profound injustice and systemic harm towards Black People and Black communities, there is a greater history of creativity, care, brilliance, vision and joy. Black joy is expressed through culture, community, imagination and resistance. It has been a powerful force of self-determination and survival throughout generations. To recognize joy is to honour a living legacy of strength and possibility.
As we commemorate Black History Month, we encourage you find ways to affirm Black joy as a vital life force that nurtures belonging, bravery and hope as youth, young adults and families.
