OUR HISTORY

Blacbiblio began in 2006 with the mission to educate Canadians about their unknown Black history. In 2010, in response to the lack of Black Canadian stories in schools across the country, we began to develop the ABC’s of Canadian Black History Kit: A Journey of Discovery into Canadian History.

The Kit, launched at McGill University in 2016 encompasses science, sports, history, business, education, politics, and geography among other topics. It spotlights 26 historical characters and events within Canada. With its fascinating Canadian Black stories, it will bring diversity and inclusion into your classroom.

We are committed to an inclusive Canadian-focused education.
