Black History Vanishing Point

*No preregistration required*

Oxford County once had the largest Black population in Ontario, next to Chatham.

Some were slaves, but many were free Blacks, looking for a better life. They worked the land, raised their families, built schools, churches, established hamlets … and are now gone, leaving little trace.

Scott Gillies, Curator, Ingersoll Cheese & Agricultural Museum, brings their story back to life.
