In recognition of Black History and African Heritage Month, Eve Nyambiya, Interim Anti-Racism and Inclusion Advisor with Brock University’s Office of Human Rights and Equity, curated an archival exhibit that highlights local Black history. Displayed in cases outside of the Brock Library Matheson Learning Commons in Thistle Complex, the exhibit contains newspaper clippings, photographs, books and more from Brock Library Archives and Special Collections. Featured material includes examples of early Black newspapers, including an 1854 issue of The Provincial Freeman and an 1851 issue of The Voice of the Fugitive, as well as photos and clippings of the Salem Chapel British Methodist Episcopal (BME) Church in St. Catharines, which was built by Harriet Tubman and formerly enslaved Africans who arrived in Canada via the Underground Railroad. Much of the exhibit focuses on Black women who have dedicated their lives to preserving Black history in St. Catharines, such as Tubman, an American abolitionist and political activist who lived in St. Catharines from 1851 to 1858; Wilma Morrison, a Niagara resident and advocate who helped the BME Church become designated as a National Heritage Site; and Addie Aylestock, Canada’s first Black female Minister.
