Hope Meets Action: Echoes Through the Black Continuum, a travelling exhibit created by the BC Black History Awareness Society in partnership with the Royal BC Museum, is now on display at White Rock Museum and Archives.
The exhibit reclaims and retells the complicated history of Black British Columbians, and traces an unbroken line of strength and resistance from the distant past to the present and into the future by highlighting the contributions of Black leaders whose actions echo across the centuries.
The BC Black History Awareness Society has been working diligently for more than 25 years to keep BC’s Black history from being erased. This exhibit is an important step to recognize the role Black history has played in the province by highlighting the past and present contributions of BC’s Black communities.
