It is with great enthusiasm that the Black Students' Network of McGill (BSN) and the Black Law Students鈥� Association of Mcgill () have joined this year for Black History Month 2019 to present a panel discussion on systemic racism and discrimination in the Canadian context ahead of the public consultation on the topic organized by the City of Montreal.

Appetizers and light refreshments will be served from 17:30 to 18:15 to allow for a period of networking and socializing, followed by the conference, which will take place from 18:30 to 21:30, including a period of questions from the audience.

This unique multidisciplinary panel aims to shed light on the realities of Black life in Canada today by touching on such topics as racism and systemic discrimination against Black communities. Our impressive roster of panelists will draw on their respective fields of expertise to try to dismantle many Canadian myths which contribute to rendering anti-blackness invisible and deniable in Canada today. Is race an 鈥渋ssue of the past鈥� or does it remain salient in contemporary Canadian society? What are the untold historical roots to anti-blackness in Canada? In what ways does systemic racism and discrimination manifest itself in a society in which egalitarian values such as liberty, justice, and fairness seem to prevail? Are we really much 鈥渂etter off鈥� than our southern neighbours? How can Black people overcome these various obstacles and strive in Canadian society? Such fundamental questions require a strong diagnostic, dialogue, input and debate and this panel discussion will set the stage for it!

Come out with an open mind ready to learn more about the realities of Black people in Canadian society through a respectful dialogue.

Speakers:

• The Hon. Marlene Jennings
• Dr Philip S.S. Howard
• Emilie Nicolas
• Julius Haag
