I’m not sure if I learned it in those grades, but I do remember attention being given to BHM in Februaries in elementary and high school. Black history was explicitly taught in elementary school for me for sure. I remember learning about The Underground Railroad.
Of course, they glossed over the fact that Canada had slavery too, they just ended it earlier. We also didn’t need a war to do it, so there’s that!
I know halifax has some shit history that i didn’t learn in school – i think i mostly learned about black history from american sources, and my own reading.
