CBTU President Honors Life and Works of Nelson Mandela

Statement of Rev. Terry Melvin International President, Coalition of Black Trade Unionists  

On December 5, 2013 the world lost one of its brightest and grandest stars. Nelson Mandela, father, president, hero and revolutionary passed away leaving behind a legacy and movement forever altered by his works and deeds.  Today we in CBTU mourn the loss of a dear friend and icon.  We honor the life he spent on this earth and cherish the fact that we were able to stand with him as he faced mountains and giants.

The Reachout Committee is a non-profit organization that services youth and their families in the Brampton, Mississauga  and Toronto area. Community activists attended their 7th Annual Community Back to School Event  on Sunday August  25, 2013 which was a great success. CBTU representatives donated materials and provided financial contributions to the cause.
