Join WFNS staff and members for a curatorial tour of A History Exposed: The Enslavement of Black People in Canada with guest curator Dr. Afua Cooper.For many, Canada’s connection to slavery is the Underground Railroad. Little-known by Canadians is what happened before the Underground Railroad when, for over two centuries, the majority of Black people in Canada were slaves. Slavery played a significant role in the early settlement of Canada and its legacy can be seen and felt today.
Discover the experiences of enslaved Black people in Canada through individual biographies and archival records. Learn how slavery came to be in Canada and find out who were Canada’s enslavers.
Exhibition created with guest curator Dr. Afua Cooper and in partnership with the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia.
Date: Thursday, Nov 22 (10:00am)
Location: Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 (1055 Marginal Rd, Halifax), a wheelchair-accessible venue with wheelchair-accessible, non-gendered bathrooms.
