Description

A Quebec law recognizing February as Black History Month came into effect. The law formally acknowledged the history and contributions of Black communities in Quebec. It also encouraged public awareness and education on Black heritage and experiences. While Black History Month had been observed in many places before, this made it an official recognition in Quebec’s legal framework. The step reflected broader efforts to address inclusion and representation in public life.
