In celebration of Women’s History Month in Canada, local historian and writer Merna Forster spoke about notable Black women in Canadian History. The presentation included stories and images of some of the Black women featured in her books; e.g. Georgia Ann Robinson, the first Black female police officer in North American and Mary Ann Shadd, the first Black woman to found, publish and edit a newspaper in Canada.
