Oakville Public Library (Virtual): Karolyn Smardz Frost on “The Four Points of the Compass: Oakville and the Underground Railroad”
February 23, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
A unique opportunity to learn more about Oakville’s Black History. For Teens and Adults
Archaeologist, historian and Governor-General’s award-winning author Karolyn Smardz Frost has helped explore and preserve our nation’s rich African Canadian past for nearly four decades. Recently she has been working with the Town of Oakville to unearth clues to the lives of Black immigrants who made Halton County their home during the Underground Railroad era. A consummate storyteller, she will share four intriguing tales about people who arrived from the South, West, North and East. Each carried with them skills and talents, courage and ambition to help build Oakville as we know it today.
