Historic Black communities across Canada

Black Canadian history is grounded in real places: neighbourhoods, churches, schools, businesses, and cultural spaces that communities built and defended.

From Hogan's Alley to Africville, those places reveal how Black communities created belonging while confronting displacement, exclusion, and policy neglect.

A strong multimedia platform should make those histories visible through maps, archival visuals, and narrative context so learners can understand both what was built and what was threatened or lost.
