You are right, there is a lack of knowledge about African-Canadian history. There are also mistakes in the history. Let's not kid ourselves: history is all about interpretation, meaning that it comes from one particular point of view.
Let me give you a very specific example. In the days of New France, Marie-Josèphe Angélique was accused of setting fire to the city of Montreal. She confessed to doing so, but only after being tortured for several days. Then she was put to death. But recently, books have been written in an attempt to provide other information, perhaps bringing in facts that put her story in a better light.
Both of you have groups that do research. You produce educational material, promotional videos. What role could your groups play in the kind of project that would shine a better light on people's stories?
