Casey Palmer has a unique way of celebrating Black History Month: for every day in February, he'll post an interview with a black Canadian on his blog. He calls the project, now in its second year, "Tales from the 2.9" — 2.9 being the percentage of Canadians who are black. "I wanted to reach out to other black Canadians, to make sure we're all saying something to add to the narrative," he said. "As a black Canadian, I've had to have tough conversations and go through tough situations," he said. On his blog starting on Wednesday, he hopes to celebrate the diversity and strength of the black Canadian community.
