$✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽🎬Black Life: Untold Stories is a highly-anticipated eight-part documentary series premiering this fall on @CBC and @cbcgem, with a mission to educate Canadians on the many chapters of Black history that have been missing from textbooks and classrooms. Today, on International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the Black Life Impact Foundation, a not-for-profit organization established to amplify the CBC documentary series, announced a strategic plan that will incorporate learnings from the doc series into a variety of additional opportunities, far beyond the screen, to reach as many Canadians as possible. . . The launch of Black Life: Untold Stories will be accompanied with the launch of a Digital Museum, Interactive Experience, Cross-Country Engagement Events, as well as Curriculum and Teacher Training—allowing for a far greater impact. . . “Through this work we aim to shift the cultural understanding of Canada to necessarily include its Black history, present, and future, and to encourage sustainable and positive cultural, political, educational, and economic change,” said @sandymhudson, Director, Black Life Impact Foundation and Co-Executive Producer, Black Life: Untold Stories (formerly Black Life: A Canadian History). “A project of this magnitude can be accomplished only with the backing of committed and like-minded collaborators. We’re enormously grateful to our partners and funders for their generous support and conviction.” . 👏🏿👏🏾👏🏽👏🏼 Canada needs this, and we’re so glad Sandy is at the helm.
