Hear from Marie Carter about her book "In the Light of Dawn", shining a spotlight on the Dawn Settlement, a historic abolitionist community in rural Ontario led by Reverend Josiah Henson.
A lifelong resident of the former "Dawn Settlement" area, Marie Carter has devoted over 25 years of research into discovering what are the remarkable unknown stories of early settlers of African-descent who came to Lambton County's Dawn Township. Many of these individuals do not fit the usual depiction of Black settlers as "fugitive slaves" , but more rightly can be typified as pioneers and early land and community developers. Discovery these fascinating lost histories and their connection to Enniskillen and Euphemia Townships including Oil Springs.
Reserve In the Light of Dawn.
Copies of In the Light of Dawn will be available for purchase following the talk.
