One significant achievement in Amoy’s impactful journey is his instrumental role in the Toronto Transit Commission’s (TTC) initiative to celebrate Black History Month. Working alongside AstroSankofa Arts Initiatives, Amoy facilitated the inclusion of key Black figures in the TTC’s public art display. This initiative aimed to honor and celebrate the legacies of remarkable Black Torontonians, acknowledging their contributions to civil rights, law, culture, government, health, sport, education, and transit.

Among the featured figures were Dr. Beverley Salmon, Dr. Itah Sadu, Charles Roach, Walter Alexander Foster, Hon. George Carter, CM, Angela James, Dr. Zanana Akande, MPP, Dr. Dionne Brand, Dr. Roberta Timothy, and Irma James. Each of these individuals left an indelible mark on Toronto, and their stories were brought to life through the artistic showcase on TTC platforms.

The initiative, themed “Building on Legacies: Celebrating Black Excellence in Toronto,” showcased the talent and creativity of local Black artists across the TTC system. Through Amoy’s instrumental efforts, this celebration not only recognized historical achievements but also emphasized the ongoing impact of Black leaders in shaping the city. His proactive role in this initiative underscores his commitment to highlighting and honoring the diverse contributions of Black Torontonians.
