The Black Heritage Collection was created to showcase the excellence of Black authors and illustrators and recognize their and other Black Canadians' contribution to our society. It was developed to promote inclusivity and combat anti-black racism. It will support and encourage learning about the unique history of the Black population in Canada as well as educate our public about the experiences of Black individuals as we explore their stories.
