From The Editor
Dear readers,
Welcome to a very special edition of Interrobang. Our Black History Month issue is comprised of contributions from our team of reporters, as well as submissions sent to us from students at Fanshawe College, Western University and the greater London community.
Black History Month is a time to recognize and celebrate the contributions made by the Black community to the arts, music, writing, culture, sports and science. We do this because all too often, those contributions are overlooked or discredited, despite the long history of Black culture being at the centre of almost everything we consume.
In this paper, you will find poetry, short stories, articles and more that highlight the history of the Black experience, and what it is like to be Black in Canada today. It was not long ago that many of us took the streets in protest of the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police. Now, it is our duty and responsibility to keep the momentum of fighting anti- Black racism going.
That is what we hope to accomplish with this issue of Interrobang. Thank you to each and every person who took the time to submit their work, thank you to the Black Students’ Association at Western University for their continued support, and thank you, readers, for picking up this newspaper and keeping the conversation going.
Happy Black History Month!
Sincerely,
Hannah Theodore
