Description
This tour featured gravesite tales of notable Black community members buried at the Toronto Necropolis (one of the city's oldest cemeteries), from freedom seekers to business leaders, to the Abbott family: including Toronto’s first Black City Councillor Wilson Ruffin Abbott and his son Dr. Anderson Ruffin Abbott, one of Toronto's first Black doctors.
