First things first, apologies for the hiatus. Anyways, this special edition episode of The Safe Room highlights Black History Month. I go over the value and significance of BHM within today's society from various perspectives. Has the structure of Black History Month run its course to questioning a change in a month or advocating for equality on a day-to-day basis? How can we improve the status of Black History Month overall? Academic institutions fail to include or acknowledge Black history with curriculum models in middle, secondary, and post-secondary schools, not to mention the invisible role the staff/administration play. Community organizations, members, and grassroots groups in the Black community are overlooked for their services. In addition, workplaces/businesses treat BHM as a regular day with minimal interaction to amplify messages of Black success. Finally, is there a possibility for reparations towards the Black population within Canada and the United States? If so, what models can be implemented, and are there already examples we can look to right now. This episode is a critical analysis of the idea of Black History Month and how it's symbolized throughout our society.
