Black History at Queen’s University Archives February is Black Histories and Futures Month, an opportunity for us to reflect on the experiences and acknowledge the accomplishments of our Black community members. It is important to note that teaching and learning about Black History, in addition to recognizing Black Communities, is not constrained to the month of February. This can be done throughout the year. Here are some resources available by Queen’s University Archives to learn more about Black History in the Kingston Region and at Queen’s University.
