Support for Black Student education will be the focus of the Welland Heritage and Multicutural Centre's annual celebration of Black History Month this week.
Janet Madume, the Centre's Executive Director, says this is an important event she looks forward to every year.
That said, Madume says the events theme "Our Youth", is a reminder that it's important to not just reflect on their history, but look towards the future.
Hosted by Juliet Dunn, the celebration features guest speaker Dr. Charles Conteh from Brock University, as well as an African Dance Performance and Youth Spoken Word segment.
Festivities begin at Wednesday morning, Feb 11, at 8:30. Tickets are $45 and can be purchased here.
