Please join the Dalhousie Black Student Advising Centre as we celebrate the eve of Dalhousie Centennial in our 2018 African Heritage Month event with an interesting topic: Why Black Unity? Pan-Africanism, Dalhousie and the World.

 

Though leaders such as Marcus Garvey, Bob Marley, and Rocky Jones believed strongly in the unity of black people – across the globe. But why did they choose Pan-Africanism as a world view, and is such a position still necessary for the 21st century? Join Dr. Chike Jeffers, philosopher of race, and Dr. Isaac Saney, historian, as they explore the history of Pan-Africanism and question its significance for Dalhousie, Nova Scotia, and the world.
