We go through what life would be like for Black Torontonians at the time, rediscovering the city through their stories.Who is Mary Ann Shadd?Mary Ann Shadd was born in Delaware in 1823. She later moved to Ontario in 1851. She spent 11 years in Canada from 1851 to 1863, leaving a large impact during her time there. She first settled in Windsor, where she founded and taught at an integrated school for children of freedom seekers, seeking to serve as a crucial education resource for Black refugees.She was also an abolitionist who led community-based initiatives to assist in the settling of freedom seekers and provided support for the Underground Railroad. She later moved to Toronto and founded the Provincial Freeman, Canada's first anti-slavery newspaper, making her the first Black woman in North America to edit and publish a newspaper.She later returned to the United States in 1863 to support the cause of the Union Army by helping to recruit Black soldiers. She studied law at Howard University and became very active in the women's suffrage movement.The Black history of TorontoThe second Fugitive Slave Law was passed in the US Congress in 1850, resulting in a boom in migration of freedom seekers and free Black people into Canada, with Toronto being a popular destination. The city became a center for abolitionist activity and a major stop on the Underground Railroad. Black residents created a close-knit community, establishing homes, businesses, and churches, working in various capacities, all while advocating for racial equity.Link to Tourhttps://baladodiscovery.com/circuits/1303/tracing-mary-ann-shadd-carys-footsteps-in-mid-19th-c-black-toronto● Note, we will not be going to every stopAgenda?: 10:30 AM - 11:00 AMMeet at the Whole Foods Market parking lotInfo: We will meet here to take the bus to Downtown Toronto - 155 Square One Dr, Mississauga, ON L5B 0E2?: 12:00 PM - 12:12 PMRecreation and Athletic Centre, TMU – The Toronto Normal SchoolInfo: Education is Liberation?: 12:12 PM - 12:25 PMMackenzie HouseInfo: Where the First Mayor of Toronto Lived?: 12:25 PM - 12:38 PMBond Place HotelInfo: Public Work – Building a Future in Freedom?: 12:38 PM - 12:52 PMToronto CourthouseInfo: St. John's Ward -  361 University Ave, Toronto, ON M5G 1Y1?: 12:52 PM - 01:05 PMOsgoode HallInfo: Freedom Through the Courts?: 01:05 PM - 01:18 PM50 Adelaide StreetInfo: Downtown Toronto Business – From Enslavement to Freedom?: 01:18 PM - 01:31 PMSt. James’ CathedralInfo: Black History Around Toronto St. James’ Cathedral?: 01:31 PM - 01:44 PMSt. Lawrence HallInfo: Public Space and Political Life?: 01:44 PM - 02:00 PMSt. Lawrence MarketInfo: Labour, Commerce, and Everyday Black Life?: 02:00 PM - 02:30 PMSt. Lawrence MarketInfo: Lunch is not provided.
