BYEP Team

As February comes to an end today, we would like to remind everyone that we should bring awareness to Black History all year round.

As this is our closing Black History Month post, we are acknowledging John Freeman Walls.

John Freeman Walls, a fugitive slave from North Carolina, built a log cabin on land purchased from the Refugee Home Society.

Situated between Goyeau St. and McDougall Ave., Civic Esplanade in downtown Windsor, the Tower of Freedom Underground Railroad Monument is one half of the International Underground Railroad Memorial.

It was created by sculptor Ed Dwight, the Tower of Freedom Underground Railroad Monument honours the flight of enslaved African Americans to freedom in Canada

Do you know the history of the Sandwich First Baptist Church?

As people were fleeing slavery in America, they found themselves passing through the Sandwich First Baptist Church. The Church served as a haven for refugee slaves who were fleeing slavery mainly from the southern United States.

Sandwich First Baptist Church is the oldest active black church in Canada.

We hope everyone has a great start to the week!

For many American slaves Windsor Essex offered what they yearned for most – a new life of freedom.  Our region played a proud and pivotal role in the Underground Railroad Movement, helping thousands escape the brutality of slavery. The Underground Railroad was not a railroad nor was it underground. It was the name of a secret network of people who hid and guided slaves and refugees as they fled to escape enslavement. It was the largest anti-slavery freedom movement in North America, having brought between 30,000 and 40,000 fugitive slaves to Canada. Learn about the terminus of the Underground Railroad – right here in Windsor Essex, Ontario.

It’s February 1st! Which means it’s the start of Black History month!

Throughout the next few weeks we will be posting about some of the history that Windsor-Essex has.

Black History month is a way to celebrate Black achievements and to celebrate diversity! We celebrate and learn the stories of countless men and women who made a difference in our world.

We hope everyone had a great holiday and great New Year!

Come kick off our first workshop of 2022 and join our discussion on January 20th with to talk about peer pressure!

Please DM us for the meeting link!
