The Cactus - A Fitting Symbol
The Congress of Black Women of Canada chose the cactus as a symbol to show the strength and resiliency of Black women.
The Cactus is of a family of plants that thrives under the most adverse conditions. No matter how arid the soil, no matter that no care or attention is given, the cactus survives, multiplies, flowers and bears fruit.
A fitting symbol!
