Despite gestures and promises of change, Black history remains untaught in most of our schools

.
In June 2020, at the height of the Black Lives Matter demonstrations, I wrote an opinion piece for the CBC about the
I noted that B.C. was one of the only provinces where Black Canadian history is nowhere to be found in the social studies curriculum and I called upon then Minister of Education Rob Fleming to
hold true to his pledge to begin incorporating this integral part of our country's history into the curriculum.
Much has happened since the release of that op-ed regarding the state of Black Canadian history in our province.
In November 2020, for example, the advocacy group Anti-Racism Coalition Vancouver petitioned the B.C. government to make Jan. 15 Black Shirt Day in solidarity with Black Canadians in the struggle against systemic racism.

Kids wear black to school to promote anti-racism during first-ever 'Black Shirt Day'

VANCOUVER --
Organizers of the first-ever Black Shirt Day at B.C. schools are calling it a success.
“We are overwhelmed with the reception Black Shirt Day has had,” said Kamika Williams, of the Anti-Racism Coalition of Vancouver. “It has been amazing and it has spread across Canada, New Zealand and Germany.”
Williams is one of the organizers who picked Jan. 15 to encourage students to wear black shirts to school to push for more Black history education in their curriculums.
“It’s also a day to spread awareness of the ongoing struggle that Black and racialized Canadians have faced for hundreds of years,” Williams said.

B.C. pledges better data on race as it marks Black Shirt Day

Several advocacy groups have been calling for B.C. to collect data that is disaggregated by race so that the provincial government can better understand the ways in which some racial groups are being left behind in education, health care, the labour market and other sectors.
Boma Brown, founder of the Victoria-based Support Network for Indigenous Women and Women of Colour, said she’s pleased by the move, especially in light of a survey released by the province in August showing the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected some racial group.
In the six years it’s been operating, the support network has heard from Black and Indigenous women who say systemic racism has prevented them from getting adequate medical treatment.
