Congratulations on the creation of such a great video highlighting the long history of Black Canadians. Cecil, Darcie, Shani, Veron, Heather and Mawuli, thank you for this awesome instructional video. Hoping this example of Black Excellence and Black history in Canada is shared in classrooms throughout the YRDSB!
