BLACK HISTORY MONTH

On March 1, 2011 FYI celebrated Black History Month with an event that drew more than 50 youth to 1652 Keele Street. Participants partook in a slave ship re-enactment, listened to accounts of the middle passage trip and what our ancestors endured on the auction block. Participants from In The Lab 101 performed We’re Holdin On,  an ode to black history and then snacks were served. A lively game of Guess Who Said It, matching quotes with pictures of notable people in history, followed by an Black Inventors Quiz and Black Presidents and Prime Ministers of the world. The night was capped off with a great meal of Jerk Chicken, Rice and Pea’s with a side of plantain. We can’t wait to do it again next year.
