Février est le Mois de l’histoire des Noirs — une période où nous célébrons les nombreuses réalisations que les Canadiens noirs ont apportées à l’histoire et à la culture du Canada.
Le Manitoba accueille de nombreuses cultures noires. En fait, la population noire qui connaît la croissance la plus rapide au Canada se trouve dans les Prairies canadiennes, où elle a quadruplé au cours des 20 dernières années.
Bien que nous soyons toujours dans une pandémie, il existe encore de nombreuses façons pour nous d’en apprendre davantage sur les contributions des Canadiens noirs numériquement et en toute sécurité en personne. Regardez ci-dessous pour une liste de ressources locales et nationales.

Movies and TV series on CBC Gem:

- VOICE OF FREEDOM | Documentary | Feb. 1
On Easter Sunday, 1939, contralto Marian Anderson stepped up to a microphone in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

- THE BLACK PANTHERS: VANGUARD OF THE REVOLUTION | Documentary | Feb. 1
In the turbulent 1960s, change was coming to America and the fault lines could no longer be ignored — cities were burning, Vietnam was exploding, and disputes raged over equality and civil rights. A new revolutionary culture was emerging and it sought to drastically transform the system. The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense would, for a short time, put itself at the vanguard of that change. THE BLACK PANTHERS: VANGUARD OF THE REVOLUTION is the first feature-length documentary to explore the Black Panther Party, its significance to broader American culture, its cultural and political awakening for Black people, and the painful lessons wrought when a movement derails.

I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO envisions the book James Baldwin (The Fire Next Time) never finished, a radical narration about race in America, using the writer’s original words, as read by actor Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction). Alongside a flood of rich archival material, the film draws upon Baldwin’s notes on the lives and assassinations of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr. to explore and bring a fresh and radical perspective to the racial narrative in America.
- THE PORTER | Drama | Feb. 21
*Exclusive Canadian Premiere
Set in the early 1920s and inspired by real events, THE PORTER follows train porters Junior Massey and Zeke Garrett, Junior’s wife Marlene, and upstart performer Lucy, as a tragedy in the community sets them on starkly different paths to a better life. While Junior takes advantage of a broken system to pursue money and power in gambling and bootlegging, Zeke fights the railway to change the system from within by unionizing the Black porters. Marlene questions whether her work as a Black Cross nurse is truly serving her community, while Lucy takes her success into her own hands – whatever the cost. As each pursues their goals, their once unbreakable bonds are stretched to their limits. Will they need to betray each other and their community to make their dreams reality?

What does it mean to be Black in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba? It is impossible to limit more than 200 years of recorded Black presence on the Prairies to a single definition. Black on the Prairies began as a multiplatform project led by CBC senior reporter Omayra Issa and CBC radio host Ify Chiwetelu. Through audio, video and online formats,Black on the Prairies explores the history and present lives of Black people on the Prairies through their triumphs and challenges, and places their contributions at the very centre of the Prairie narrative as part of the Canadian story.
