Black History Month – Windsor West Mailings
Black History Month is a time to remember the specific contributions to Canadian society by Black Canadians. There are personal stories, migrations, historical events, and community celebrations that all play into the powerful and meaningful story of Black History Month. The following are newsletters sent throughout the riding in honor of Black History Month. These newsletters aim to share some of the stories of our local black community and how they have helped shape our community and region into the beautifully diverse place we call home. I hope you enjoy these stories the links below are all newsletters that were sent out. I suggest also visiting one of the local museums such as the Amherstburg Freedom Museum, the François Baby House or Uncle Tom`s Cabin Historic Site in Dresden. Please contact my office if you want further information on these or the local black historical or community groups at (519) 255-1631.
