BLACK SHIRT DAY

Black Shirt Day

On January 15, 2021 & 2022, Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday, thousands of students, educators and citizens across British Columbia and Canada wore black shirts to promote awareness of the struggle for civil rights fought by Black, Indigenous, and Peoples of Colour in Canada.

CALL TO ACTION - All educators and students are encouraged to expand this recognition by wearing a black shirt on Friday, January 13, 2023.

The wearing of black shirts are to inspire ongoing critical conversations, and the upliftment of Black Excellence.
