…and still I rise: A History of African Canadian Workers in Ontario from 1900 to Present
Sunday, Mar 16 2003 to Wednesday, December 31, 2003
Workers Arts & Heritage Centre
51 Stuart Street
This travelling exhibit traces the history of African Canadians from the 1900s to the present. It follows their history as escaped slaves and free Blacks who migrated to Canada during the American Revolution, War of 1812 and during the era of the Underground Railroad. Despite racism and other restrictions, Canadians of African descent set down roots, established communities, defended the country militarily, and agitated for inclusion in all aspects of society. African Canadians were an important part of the development of human rights codes, which are enjoyed by all Canadians today. LIUNA Station is of historical significance to former members of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, who fought to organize one of Canada first black trade unions – and we’re delighted to be launching this exhibit preview at this historic site.
