In light of the Ghana-sponsored resolution declaring the trafficking in Africans a crime against humanity, please go see my exhibit A History Exposed: The Enslavement of Black People in Canada, at the United Nations, New York City. Blessings.

Check out my exhibit at the Adamson Estate Museum in Mississauga. A History Exposed is the first national exhibit on slavery in Canada. The Adamson stop will be the only one in the GTA. This exhibit goes on a four-year tour across Canada. https://t.co/0nZDH305cm

This Summer Solstice, 21 June 2025 marks the 291st anniversary of the passing of enslaved Black woman, Marie Joseph Angelique who was hanged in Montreal (in 1734) for allegedly burning down that city. Warrior woman, rest in power! Buy my book about her story-available near you.

As we prepare to say goodbye to Black History Month, a reminder that we should be learning and championing the diverse histories of Black Canadians every single day, including Black Canadian Muslims who contribute and enrich our country.

A special shout out to the award-winning historian and poet Dr. @afuacooper , PhD and her brilliant daughter, award-winning author, Habiba Cooper Diallo who published a book called #BlackinSchool that shines important light on what it's like to be a young Black student.

I am so inspired by Black excellence ⭐️ embodied by the incredible people I have been privileged to meet ❤️

Happy to have attended the launch of the Angelique stamp recently in Montreal. As a historian and an author, I've worked for decades to bring her story to light. @canadapostcorp consulted with me as part of the process. Viva Angelique! #History #milestone #hangingofangelique
