Being Black on King Walking Tour, Enoch Turner Schoolhouse, June 13, 2024
Description
Discover the Black history that spans King Street East: from the first Underground Railroad site excavated in Canada, to one of Toronto's first soul food restaurants whose name, design and atmosphere surfaced the history of slavery in the US and Canada, while also celebrating the community leaders who risked everything to ensure freedom.
