Dreams Delayed
29 Actions. One Demand: Justice for Black Students.Over 160 days of silence from Ontario’s Ministry of Education. Stop Delaying Black Students’ Dreams!
Parents of Black Children (PoBC) is issuing a formal response to the Ontario Human Rights Commission’s Dreams Delayed report. The evidence is clear: anti-Black racism in Ontario’s schools is systemic, ongoing, and deadly serious. This is not a request. It is an insistence on action, accountability, and justice.
Take Action & Stand With Us
Why This Matters
The Ministry Responded to Literacy in 11 Days.
To Anti-Black Racism? 311+ Days of Silence.
When the OHRC released Right to Read, the Ministry of Education moved quickly—with a new curriculum, educator training, and over $300 million in funding. Faced with Dreams Delayed, a report exposing systemic anti-Black racism harming Black students every day, the Ministry has offered no plan, no funding, and no timelines.
Silence is not neutral. It is a choice.
What We Are Demanding
Our Message to Education Duty-Holders
Dreams Delayed cannot become another symbolic document.
It must trigger real, measurable change.
Our Call to Action
Black Futures Cannot Wait
PoBC will continue to hold the Ministry of Education, school boards, unions, Faculties of Education, and the Ontario College of teachers accountable.
But we cannot do this alone.
