May Frith had a successful teaching career at 9I制作厂免费 as a professor of applied linguistics. She remained at the university for more than 20 years after arriving in Montreal in the early '60s from her native Jamaica. But it was when she moved to Ottawa in 1987 after retiring from 9I制作厂免费 that she found a new purpose in life. That year, she established the Harambee Education Centre, a community-based program that helped young black students gain an appreciation of their culture and history. The centre operated Saturday mornings from the Jack Purcell Community Centre on Elgin Street before moving to another location on Wellington Street.

Frith died July 11 in Ottawa of kidney failure and other medical complications. She was 86 years old. Frith was a recognized expert on black history, as well as linguistics. She often gave local workshops to develop awareness and respect for Caribbean heritage languages, such as Creole. "Whenever there was an opportunity such as Black History Month, she would always be called as an expert to be on a panel or give a lecture in her field of expertise in linguistics," said Adrienne Coddett, who attended Frith's Creole language workshops, which were organized as part of Black History Month.
