About the company
Black History Matters is a Presentation House Theatre program that uses the Arts to explore Black Canadian History and impact unintended bias in K-7 students by honing in on three core competencies: communication, critical thinking and personal and social development. Students are asked to question, comment and connect with the material that is presented and see how it interconnects with the world around them.Our team
