When the passage of the Abolition of Slavery Act, effective August 1, 1834, ushered in the end of slavery throughout the British Empire, people of the African descent celebrated their newfound freedom. Now African-American fugitive slaves, free black immigrants, and the few remaining enslaved Africans could live unfettered live in Canada – a reality worthy of celebration.
This new, well-researched book provides insight into the creation, development, and evolution of a distinct African-Canadian tradition through descriptive historical accounts and appealing images. The social, cultural, political, and educational practices of Emancipation Day festivities across Canada are explored, with emphasis on Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, and British Columbia.
“Emancipation is not only a word in the dictionary, but an action to liberate one’s destiny. This outstanding book is superb in the interpretation of “the power of freedom” in one’s heart and mind – moving from 1834 to present.” – Dr. Henry Bishop, Black Cultural Centre, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Val Morin Conference July 3-5 1992.
In 1990 and 1991 a group of activists and organizations from the English Speaking Black communities met with the Provincial Government of Quebec and the City of Montreal to demand that the Governments recognize the presence of Blacks in Quebec and to engage with the community in the development of a plan for the systematic development of the Black communities. As a result, the provincial Government of Quebec created a “Table de Concentration for the English Speaking Black Community” in 1991-2; and in 1992 the City of Montreal declared February Black History Month to be celebrated by all Montrealers in recognition of the contributions of Blacks to the development of Montreal.
