Last week, we began discussing Black History Month in our Social Studies classes. We talked about the importance of examining history from multiple perspectives. We started with a discussion about Africville in Nova Scotia. Most students were surprised to hear that a community of African Americans was displaced without their consent right here in Canada. As the week progresses, students will analyze and discuss other primary and secondary sources related to African American history in Canada.
In this edition of Kayak magazine, featuring guest co-editor Natasha Henry shares some fantastic stories and examples of the ways Black Canadians built and shaped this country.
