In this educational module we're going to explore some of the Black communities and individuals who lived in Ontario over the centuries.
OurDigitalWorld's exhibits are made up of materials brought online by a number of community organizations around the province, including libraries, archives, historical societies, museums, galleries, clubs and associations, and other interest groups.
We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Government of Ontario, through the Ministry of Citizenship of Immigration's Multicultural Community Capacity Program.
