Tell it out loud

Have you ever heard a story you wanted to know more about? Black History Month in Canada offers up an opportunity for us to read, hear and tell stories that are part of our history. Sharing our stories helps us to appreciate our past, embrace our future and create a present that includes all of us.

One such story is Aunt Harriet's Underground Railroad in the Sky by Faith Ringgold. Take a ride on Harriet Tubman's railroad. It tells of courage, love and community and takes you to the door step of freedom in Canada. The telling brings history to life.

Discover the power of voice by tuning into and hearing the stories about Black \history in Canada. 

Take part in sharing this history and be stronger for it.
