“I do experience a little bit of micro aggression and racism in Lethbridge, but despite that, the community here and the university is very welcoming,” added Thomas. Martha Mathurin-Moe is the executive director of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at the U of L. She said this year the school is seeing its highest number of international students on campus and events like this give students a chance to engage and explore everyone’s unique backgrounds.
“I’m hoping that they engage, learn, unlearn, ask questions, be critical — but it’s also a space for doing it in a safe way,” said Mathurin-Moe. Lethbridge College is also taking part in celebrating Black History Month. Jojo Kariuki with the Lethbridge College Students Association said taking the time to reflect on black history isn’t always easy, but it’s important.
