February is Black History Month. During Black History Month, Canadians celebrate and honour the legacy of Black Canadians, past and present.
In recognition of Black History Month, Robertson Library, the UPEI Student Diversity Office (SDO), BIPOC USHR, and the Hive are presenting a screening and discussion of The Ninth Floor, an NFB documentary written and directed by Mina Shum.
This feature documentary “…revisits the infamous 1969 Sir George Williams Riot―an event that began quietly when a group of Caribbean students started to suspect their professor of racism, but ended in the most explosive student uprising Canada had ever known.”
