Black History Month at NPL

2/25/2019

 
Still I Rise: Celebrating Stories of Strength, Courage and Innovation.
We had an engaging and educational session with Dwayne Morgan on February 23rd at the Newmarket Public Library. Morgan is a multi-award winning Spoken Word Artist who has performed in over 18 countries and is an inductee in the Scarborough, Ontario Walk of Fame. He spoke on themes of racism, social injustice and the lifelong tasks of redignifying oneself and practicing radical self love.


So much to celebrate - Still I rise

Still I Rise: Celebrating Stories of Strength, Courage and Innovation.

Newmarket African Caribbean Canadian Association’s inaugural Black history celebration event was on February 9, 2019 at Old Town Hall in Newmarket.

It was an entire day of education, celebration and intercultural exchange. We came together and celebrated Black history, Black excellence and Black future; we redignified the past and redefined the future through art, stories, music, poetry and dance. Our youth came forward and delivered powerful narrative performances and our speakers challenged leaders to make a change to remove barriers and create opportunities. Still I Rise lifted us up and left us with a clear message that our liberation is tied up in our collective ability to effect change.

​Presented by NACCA, in partnership with the Town of Newmarket and funded, in part, by the Government of Canada.
