Prince Harry and Meghan Markle release new statement ahead of Canada trip
The Invictus Games Vancouver and Whistler starts on 8 February
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have shared a new statement, just days before travelling to Canada for the upcoming Invictus Games.
Taking to their Archewell Foundation website, Prince Harry and Meghan marked the start of Black History Month, which is commemorated throughout February in the US and Canada, and in October in the UK.
"At The Archewell Foundation, we celebrate the rich culture and contributions of those who have come before us throughout history. As we mark Black History Month, we encourage everyone to learn and reflect on the contributions of leaders, activists, and changemakers who have inspired progress.
"Taking the time to appreciate stories, art, history, and culture not only honours the communities that have built these spaces, but also contributes to our collective wellbeing."
Harry and Meghan and their Archewell Foundation team shared a list of resources for people to "engage with both this month and always".
Organisations included are digital gallery The Kinsey African American Art & History Collection, the California African American Museum in Los Angeles, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C. and The Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial & Educational Center in New York.
Harry and Meghan, pictured in Colombia last August, have shared resources for Black History MonthLast year, Harry and Meghan and their team visited an exhibit at the Skirball Cultural Center called 'This Light of Ours: Activist Photographers of the Civil Rights Movement'.
And in 2022, the Duchess contributed to an op-ed for Black History Month, as she spoke to Anita Hill, professor at Brandeis University, about Ketanji Brown Jackson's historic nomination to the Supreme Court that year.
"The civil rights history of tomorrow is being written today," Meghan said. "Judge Jackson's nomination has opened new ground for women's representation at the highest level of a judicial system that for too long has tilted against the very community she hails from."
She added: "For the millions of young women who will rightfully find inspiration from this moment, let's remind ourselves that Black achievement is something that exists not just today or yesterday, and not just in moments of celebration, but as a fabric woven into the entire chronicle of the American story."
