In celebration of Black History Month, Southwood Secondary School, in addition to highlighting prominent black Canadian leaders and authors, will be showing COLOUR ME- a 46 minute documentary film about what it means to be black in Canada. The film will run two Fridays in February, the 15th and 22nd in the cafeteria during the last period of the day (D), with teachers signing up their classes to attend.

About COLOUR ME – A documentary:
Anthony McLean is showing six teens what it means to be black. Backdrop: Brampton, Ontario. The catch – he’s not sure what it means himself. Motivational speaker, Anthony McLean is sick of stereotypes that surround the black community. He wants things to change. So, for five months, Anthony is taking six youth on a journey to discover what it really means to be black.
