Celebrating Black History Month

This year marks three decades of Black History Month in Canada. In 2026, Canada acknowledges Black Brilliance Across Generations — From Nation Builders to Tomorrow’s Visionaries. The theme represents the continuity, resilience, and progress made by Black Canadians throughout history.

We celebrate the legacy of Black Canadians, whose leadership, creativity, and resilience have shaped our past, influence our present, and inspire future generations.

At the Library, we celebrate the work of notable Black scholars. See published works by these scholars in our research guide.
