AFRICA CANADIAN HISTORY CHALLENGE

Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose the inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and history. - Carter G. Woodson

"History is not the past. It is the present. We carry our history with us. We are our history." — Esi Edugyan

Esi Edugyan, novelist (born 1978 in Calgary, AB). Esi Edugyan is a Ghanaian Canadian novelist whose work has become an influential part of the Canadian literary canon.

The Black History Challenge is a fun, family-oriented activity where participants work in groups to test and expand what they know about their African-Canadian history. It’s an excellent opportunity to share intergenerational knowledge about our past achievements, to celebrate resilience and creativity, and to instill a lasting sense of pride and confidence in our youth and children — inspiring them to learn more and carry our stories forward.
