February is Black History Month, an opportunity for a focused, intentional, and elevated reflection and recognition of Black history and achievement including the many historical and contemporary contributions of Black Canadians, Black British Columbians and Black students, faculty and staff at UBC.
The 2026 theme for Black History Month is “30 Years of Black History Month: Honouring Black Brilliance Across Generations — From Nation Builders to Tomorrow’s Visionaries“. By framing the theme around “Black Brilliance Across Generations”, here in the Faculty of Education and in the TEO, we emphasize continuity, resilience, and progress inviting reflection on historical achievements, inspiring future possibilities, and shaping Canada’s future. Educating ourselves on our responsibilities, and empowering our community to build a just and civil society, is part of our collective aspirations as educators.
