\n Carleton Hosts the ACMP 3rd Annual Black History Month Event\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Carleton University\u2019s Afro Caribbean Mentorship Program<\/a> (ACMP) and the Nigerian Canadian Association (NCA), based in Montreal, will host its third annual, one-day, online Black History Month event. Sponsored by the Royal Bank of Canada, the evening\u2019s festivities will celebrate Afro-Caribbean Black Canadian communities, by paying homage to their history and celebrating the great accomplishments of Afro-Caribbean Black (ACB) people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When<\/strong>: Saturday, Feb. 27, 2021 at 6:30 p.m.
\nRegistration and event details<\/strong>: https:\/\/weareacmp.com\/events\/acmp-3rd-annual-black-history-month-event\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will be co-hosted by the founder of the ACMP, Warren Clarke, and Tanya Vanloo from the Nigerian Canadian Association of Montreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year the event attracted 750 people, who enjoyed Caribbean food and desserts while listening to keynote addresses, as well as participating in live painting, a youth fashion show, panel discussion and a raffle giveaway for a pair of the Black History Month Nike Air Force Ones, Special edition. Although it was a time to remember, the ACMP looks forward to doing it big this year through an online experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking into consideration our current COVID-19 reality, audience members are encouraged to stay home and dance, sing and contribute to thought-provoking panel discussions that will empower the ACB community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the COVID-19 pandemic has affected many businesses, especially in the ACB community, the event\u2019s focus is to work in solidarity with Black businesses to remind our community to support Black-owned businesses during the pandemic. In doing so, the event will intentionally be broadcasting commercials slots in-between the program schedule. This is our way to ensure audience members recognize amazing Black Canadian businesses. Black-owned businesses are disproportionately affected by the pandemic and anti-Black racism when compared to any other groups of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
