Black History Month: Celebrating contributions, culture, and creativity

“My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.”
- Desmond Tutu, South African human rights activist

Throughout February, Enbridge is celebrating the rich history, achievements and ingenuity of Black people—highlighting the community’s influence on North American society and popular culture around the world.

Historically, the contributions of African Americans and Canadians of African descent have been overlooked or hidden. However, during Black History Month, we have the opportunity to recognize and celebrate the ways in which Black communities continue to enrich our culture through business, science, technology, the arts and entertainment and so many other areas of our day to day lives.

“It’s important to me to continue listening and learning from Black people so that I can better understand their history and achievements that help make our communities so rich with culture and creativity,” says Greg Ebel, CEO and President of Enbridge.

“We encourage our employees to take time this month to learn something new about Black history and share what you learn with others.”
