An entertaining and thought-provoking evening awaits as you learn about the power of Black creativity and culture as well as the early history of Black settlers in Canada and the dynamics of racism. Local artist Nicole Alexander, who grew up in Trinidad and Tobago, will display and discuss her paintings being influenced by her love of Caribbean dance, poetry, calypso music and from the beauty of her culture and heritage. Rob Green, a sixth generation descendant of slaves, will then take attendees on a journey through his family’s history and his own personal experiences using both song and spoken word.
