In this great discussion, we talk with Lana, a Canadian citizen sharing her insight on the slave trade, abolition, and civil rights for oppressed black communities in Canada. Explore Welcome to our channel, where we delve into lesser-known histories and shed light on important topics. In this eye-opening podcast episode, we explore the often-overlooked history of slavery in Canada 1. Contrary to popular belief, Canada played a significant role in the transatlantic slave trade, and its history is peppered with stories of enslaved individuals who suffered in silence 1. Throughout this podcast, we’ll unearth stories of enslaved Indigenous peoples, African Canadians aka Israelites, and others who were subjected to the scourge of slavery 12. We’ll discuss how slavery was deeply intertwined with the Canadian economy, and how it affected both urban centers and rural communities across the country 1. But our journey doesn’t stop at the past. We will explore the present-day implications of Canada’s history of slavery, examining the ongoing struggle for recognition, justice, and reparations for the descendants of those who were enslaved 1. By shedding light on this often-neglected aspect of Canadian history, we hope to foster a deeper understanding of the country’s complex past and encourage meaningful conversations about the present-day consequences of historical injustices 1.
