Black history month celebration
February 24, 2011 to February 25, 2011
The OFL and CBTU (Coalition of Black Trade Unionists) present the acclaimed exhibition "And Still I Rise: A History of African Canadian Workers in Ontario." This travelling exhibit originally developed by the Workers Arts and Heritage Centre explores the rich legacy of Ontario's black Community.
Four exhibits designed to look like train coaches span the twentieth century with exhibition topics ranging from "Challenges to Freedom" to "1900 to World War II" to the reflective "Legacy of African Canadians." Visitors are invited to learn more about the historic and present day lives and experiences of black Canadians through the investigation of themes including immigration, work roles and the labour movement, the agitation of civil rights, the contributions of African Canadians to the arts and sports, the importance of church, schools and voluntary organizations to building strong
communities.
Venue: Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) Building
Location: 15 Gervais Drive Toronto, ON
Categories: Labour, Workplace, Unions
