About the Exhibit:

Celebrate Black History Month with us through an inspiring exhibit that honours the contributions of past and contemporary Black educators in the Guelph, Wellington, and Waterloo regions. This engaging display chronicles the historical impact of Black communities on teaching excellence in the region and highlights modern efforts in Black educational excellence, focusing on anti-oppressive and inclusive pedagogies.
