Black History Month at McGill

Black History Month aims to celebrate and centre Blackness throughout the history, the present, and the future of McGill and beyond.

Each year, Black History Month (BHM) at McGill brings together students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community members through events held both in person and online. These events present an opportunity to learn, reconnect, and celebrate Black communities’ contributions to education and research. We are proud of the continued recognition of Black History Month here at McGill, and we look forward to  honouring  and celebrating Black history together.

We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous peoples whose presence marks this territory on which peoples of the world now gather.
