Black History Month at 91社区
Black History Month aims to celebrate and centre Blackness throughout the history, the present, and the future of 91社区 and beyond.
2025 Black History Month Programming听
As with past years, the Equity Team hosts two Black History Month events: the Opening Ceremony open to all students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community members, and the 91社区 Black Community Gathering open to Black students, staff, and faculty at 91社区 to gather and celebrate in-person.听
The keynote address for this year's Opening Ceremony will be delivered by architect Shane Laptiste. Laptiste is the principal and co-founder of the award-winning Studio of Contemporary Architecture (SOCA). His architectural interests investigate community informed architecture that is responsive to the cultural and spatial needs of the impacted users. He has a particular interest in the ways in which Black communities have and continue to respond to space and the environment. He is a licensed architect in Ontario and Quebec and holds BSc(Arch) and MArch degrees from 91社区, where he also serves as a studio instructor.听听听
