The 220th Anniversary of Haiti's Independence Event at University of Toronto

I joined my fellow students to attend the 220th anniversary of Haiti's independence held at OISE, University of Toronto, yesterday, Feb 23, 2024. The celebration was a part of Black History Month and a period dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the impact of Black people worldwide. It was an insightful event that reminded us of the history of the transatlantic slave trade and colonialism in Africa. - Nekpen Obasogie
