Emancipation Day reading

Many people point to Canada as a haven for people escaping slavery via the Underground Railroad, but slavery didn't stop at the border. Canada has a terrible history of enslaving Indigenous and African peoples — a history we all need to know and never forget. Emancipation Day commemorates the abolition of slavery across the British Empire while encouraging us to fight anti-Black racism and discrimination and to celebrate the strength and perseverance of Black communities in Canada.
