Ricardo Lamour is a Haitian-Canadian artist and human rights advocate based in Quebec, known for his activism against systemic anti-Black racism in Canada.
An alumnus of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) Fellowship Programme in Geneva, Lamour has played a pivotal role in submitting joint reports for Canada’s Universal Periodic Review (UPR),[1] and has initiated petitions advocating for independent oversight in cases of civilian deaths involving police forces.
Lamour is the founder of Bout du Monde, a project that seeks to empower Black youth and advocate for their inclusion in decision-making platforms.[2] He also provides expert guidance to philanthropic and public entities supporting marginalized communities, with an emphasis on Black populations. His work includes educating on the impacts of Canadian extractive industries in the Global South and opposing the censorship of Black voices in the arts and media.
Lamour’s activism has led to the City of Montreal’s recognition of the UN’s Resolution 68/237, marking the International Decade for People of African Descent.[3] He contributed to revisions in CBC/Radio-Canada’s guidelines on offensive language within its French services. Lamour also co-authored the Halifax Declaration during the National Summit of Black Canadians, advocating for systemic changes to combat racial discrimination.[4]
