About the Course

This micro-course explores some of the major histories, migrations, artists and activists that have contributed to the presence and survival of Black people in Canada. The course tracks Canada’s evolving relationship to Blackness and Black people, while inviting learners to reflect upon the ways Canadian views of race and multiculturalism have influenced Black communities throughout the country. We invite you to reflect, dream, and think alongside some of today’s most prominent Black intellectuals as we examine the history of Black presence in Canada, and imagine vibrant Black Canadian futures....

A comprehensive introduction to Black Canadians in the past, present, and future. This is a must for all Canadians who did not learn about Black Canadians in school or university.

This course is beautifully, holistically, and sensitively put together. After the first Module, I have already found it to be an important experience to participate in. The learning experience is smooth, video work exquisite. The storytelling approach gives a nuanced sense of history that has shaped our lives here and around the world. Thanks for all of this!

This four week course provides the right balance between content and prompts for personal reflection. This was helpful to internalize and localize the information and think further outside of the planned materials. For me, it was a well-prepared and engaging course! I'm thankful this was prepared and offered on Coursera!

This course was very informative. The videos and readings were most interesting as they introduced me to Black scholars, musicians, writers, poets, actors and other creatives. I am so glad I took it. Thank you. I hope to share book titles, songs and names with people I know.

This course could easily be twice as long, I feel there is so much more to learn and I will delve into all of the resources that have been given throughout the course, to continue my learning. This course should be a part of the school curriculum.
