This fascinating, full-colour illustrated book features over 50 amazing
Black people from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and
Newfoundland and Labrador, sharing their incredible stories and
accomplishments, past and present.
Among these amazing Black Atlantic Canadians are people who saved lives,
set sports records (Delmore William "Buddy" Daye), achieved
international superstardom (Measha Brueggergosman), made change in their
own neighbourhoods (Quentrel Provo), overcame injustice (Viola Desmond),
and enacted many other inspiring deeds of courage and perseverance. With
dozens of profiles on both historical and contemporary Black people from
Atlantic Canada, Lindsay Ruck celebrates the accomplishments of some of
our region's amazing Black heroes.
Featuring informative sidebars, an index, and 20 colour illustrations
