We Were Here: The McDougall Corridor

Though only a few traces of this once vibrant, bustling downtown Black neighbourhood remain, the community’s legacy remains strong.  The story of the McDougall Street Corridor showcases this city’s rich Black history but also demonstrates the devastating impacts of city planning and urban renewal efforts on a historic neighbourhood. We Were Here offers a collection of essays, images, maps, artifacts, and documents that depict this community, and invites you to learn more about a vital chapter in Canadian history.

Willow Key will discuss Windsor’s little-known rich Black history of this historic neighbourhood.

Free & everyone welcome!
