February is Black History Month. Black History Month is a time to learn more about the many important contributions of Black Canadians to the settlement, growth and development of Canada, and about the diversity of Black communities in Canada and their importance to the history of this country. David Lam Library has put together a book display to celebrate Black History month. Some of our titles include:
-Black women in leadership : their historical and contemporary contributions
-Networking for black professionals : nonstop business networking that will change your life
-The African American entrepreneur
-Encyclopedia of African American business
-Minding their own business : five female leaders from Trinidad and Tobago
-Collecting courage : joy, pain, freedom, love : anti-Black racism in the charitable sector
-Branding Black womanhood : media citizenship from Black power to Black girl magic
