In recognition of Black History Month, Natasha Henry of the Ontario Black History Society joins the podcast to discuss the work of the organization and takes on the tough task of identifying three of the most audacious individuals in Black Canadian history and their special accomplishments.
Dudley Laws was a Canadian civil rights activist and executive director of the Black Action Defence Committee.
Mary Ann Shadd Cary was an American-Canadian anti-slavery activist, journalist, publisher, teacher, and lawyer.
Elizabeth Freeman, also known as Bet, Mum Bett, or MumBet, was the first enslaved African American to file and win a freedom suit in Massachusetts.
Please note that this isn't meant to be an exhaustive list nor is it intended to minimize the many contributions made by countless Black Canadians. Individuals are strongly encouraged to increase their knowledge by conducting their own research on the offerings of Black Canadians to our society.
