This International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the Black Life Impact Foundation revealed the major components and partners of its ground-breaking education and impact campaign.

The campaign is designed to deepen public understanding of Canada’s Black history and is a companion to the CBC documentary series Black Life: Untold Stories. Led by author, activist, and Black Life co-executive producer Sandy Hudson, the campaign includes a comprehensive, bilingual curriculum; an experiential digital museum; and cross-country public and workplace engagement screenings and events realized with key community partners and stakeholders. The Black Life Impact Foundation has partnered with the Black Opportunity Fund and additional funders to ensure nationwide awareness.

“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 Sandy Hudson, 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.”

The impact campaign expounds Black Life: Untold Stories, an eight-part documentary series premiering this fall on CBC and CBC Gem. The long overdue series explores a rich history of Black experiences in Canada and showcases complex, dynamic stories of struggle and triumph. The series’ Black creative team celebrates the contributions of Black Canadians while presenting an unflinching examination of our collective past.

Campaign Activities: Digital Museum and Interactive Experience; Cross-Country Engagement Events; Curriculum and Teacher Training; Black Life: Untold Stories (formerly Black Life: A Canadian History).
