WELCOME TO BLACK FUTURES AT GEORGE BROWN COLLEGE
We want to acknowledge the history of the Black community while celebrating the resilience and excellence that the community has shown over time. To do this, February marked the beginning of a celebration that centred the conversation on how we foster and promote Black futures while creating community for all. While Black Futures Month is now over, the work we're doing and the content and the resources we created continue to live on.
