Letter from CUPE Manitoba's Diversity Vice-President for Racialized Workers, Karen Brown (Local 204).
February is officially recognized as Black History Month, but I believe that celebrating Black history should be a year-round endeavor. It goes beyond just learning about prominent figures like Martin Luther King Jr.
In our diverse world, there are countless opportunities to honour the rich history, culture, food, and dance associated with Black heritage.
