Black history month guest speaker

Reverend Anthony Bailey, from the Parkdale united church, visited us today to talk about teams of unity, tolerance and intolerance, the power of restorative justice, and the importance of community. He also spoke about black history here in Canada, and how important it is to uncover the truth about African-American history, and a African history around the world and here in Canada. It was an amazing presentation, and the students hung on his every word. I am sure we will talk about it for days to come. The students likely would relate to you the story about the woman who visited Gandhi to ask him toget her son to stop eating sugar. That was just one of many memorable stories shared with us today.
