As we close out this season, we’re reflecting on a powerful experience: our visit to A History Exposed: The Enslavement of Black People in Canada—a traveling exhibit that confronts one of the most overlooked chapters in Canadian history. Created with guest curator Dr. Afua Cooper in partnership with the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia, this traveling exhibit forces us to confront the realities of slavery on Canadian soil

De Costa and Le Jeaune stand as two of the earliest recorded figures in Black Canadian history—names that surface in the archives long before Canada was even Canada. Their stories take us back to a time when this land was known as British North America, a place still being shaped.

Through them, we catch a glimpse of what life looked like for people of African descent in the 1600s —navigating identity, survival, and status in a colonial world that hadn’t yet fully codified slavery, but was already laying its foundations.
