 Black Canadians

Most people outside of Canada are not aware of how diverse its demographic landscape truly is. Among the country’s multicultural tapestry, Black Canadians have always been a significant and influential community that greatly contributed to the historical and contemporary narratives of the nation. The scholarly work of Wilburn Hayden, PhD shines a light on this vibrant group, exploring the depth and breadth of the Black diaspora in Canada with keen insight and academic rigor.
