Between February 2020 and March 2022, the African Ancestry Project, led by Alice Muthoni Mũrage in partnership with BC Black History Awareness Society, conducted research through a survey, interviews, and focus group discussions. The history, data and stories of over 160 participants from BC were woven together and made part of a comprehensive and inclusive report on the vast diversity of people of African ancestry in the province. The report was released on March 5, 2022. The Project’s work continued with a Youth Dialogue, a series of three virtual youth dialogues engaging 40 young people between ages 15 and 19. The final phase will produce three videos documenting the youth dialogue.
