Local 79 Black History Month Celebration

04 March 2026

This past Saturday, we came together for an afternoon of reflection, learning, and celebration. The program featured Land and Ancestral Acknowledgements, the Black National Anthem and poetry by Nicky Lawrence, welcome remarks from Brigett Coleman, an engaging Q&A with LTtheMonk (also our MC), and a powerful fireside chat with Robyn Maynard and Brianna Plummer.

We closed with a vibrant steelpan performance by Thadel Wilson, and time to connect over refreshments. Thank you to everyone who helped make the event so meaningful!
