Elijah McCoy – Black History Month
This Black History Month (BHM) Public Service Announcement (PSA) highlights the life of Elijah McCoy. He was one of the most prolific black inventors of the 19th Century with more than 57 inventions to his credit and from whom we get the expression, “The Real McCoy”.
Every year Canadians are invited to participate in Black History Month festivities and events that honour the legacy of black Canadians, past and present.
We take this time to celebrate the many achievements and contributions of black Canadians who, throughout history, have done so much to make Canada the culturally diverse, compassionate and prosperous nation we are today. During Black History Month Canadians can gain insight into the experiences of black Canadians and the vital role this community has played throughout our shared history.
