We invite you to join us on Thursday, August 31st at 6:30pm at the Amherstburg Freedom Museum (277 King Street) for an in-person presentation and reception for the opening of the exhibit “Beyond the Underground Railroad: A History of Black Settlement in Nineteenth Century Amherstburg.” This exhibit was created by University of Windsor<\/a> student Karleigh Kochaniec as part of the Local Black History Internship Program, which is a partnership between the Department of History, University of Windsor<\/a> and the Amherstburg Freedom Museum. Generously funded by a Mitacs Accelerate Program Grant and the Board of Directors of the Amherstburg Freedom Museum.<\/p>

During the exhibit opening we will also award the Mac Simpson Award and Maturine-Romain Scholarship to students of African descent who are commencing post-secondary studies in September 2023. The Mac Simpson Award was created to honour the legacy of Museum founder, Melvin Mac Simpson. The Maturine-Romain Award is given on behalf of Dr. Bernice McKenzie to honour the lives and memory of Evelina Maturine and Lucie Romain, the grandmothers of Dr. McKenzie. We hope you will join us!<\/p>
