Toronto Maple Leafs:  There Can't Be Black Excellence Without Black Futures - Black History Month Video HERE
I've had the pleasure of serving on the Arts and Culture Advisory Committee with Aaron Francis. He created and curated an exhibit called Vintage Black Canada. Using vintage photographs of his family, Aaron's exhibit counters the way Black families are depicted in the media. It shows everyday family moments and celebrations. You'll see pictures of his uncle Errol Starr "Francis" a Juno Winner, a Kitchener musician with hits including Angel and Holding Out For You. You can learn about the exhibit HERE  You can see some of the pictures and stories behind them HERE  You can view the Instagram Account HERE
