SUMMARY:Black Histories Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon
DESCRIPTION:Representation matters. Not just on screens and pages\, but in 
 the information and data we share. Join us in the Library Collaboratory to 
 celebrate Black History Month by learning to edit Wikipedia. Anyone can 
 make a difference by helping to improve coverage of Black histories online. 
 Come for community\, and learn to edit Wikipedia pages if you're 
 new!\n\nThis event is open to the public and themed around the Toronto 
 music scene. We will begin at noon with a keynote by Sam Tecle\, a leading 
 scholar in Black and Diaspora Studies at TMU\, exploring how hip hop 
 reveals the deeper sociology of Toronto — how rhythm becomes resistance\, 
 and how the city’s artists have documented belonging\, struggle\, and 
 pride in real time. (Scroll down to learn more)\n\nThe keynote will 
 followed by optional training for beginners. Collective editing will begin 
 after the training. Drop in and out anytime.\n\nA warm lunch will be 
 provided. Please inform us of any dietary needs via the registration form 
 by February 20. While we will do our best\, requests after this date may 
 not be accommodated.\n\nBring your own laptop. A few library laptops will
