This February's Tuesday Night at the Museum is presented celebration of Black History Month, a time to highlight Black History and culture, and to honour the ancestors and leaders of Black communities, their accomplishments and their continued fight for liberation.
The historic city of Kingston, Ontario shows an absence of an early Black history but archives in Kingston and beyond shows that the area undoubtedly had a Black presence. In 2023, guest speaker, Dr Qanita Lilla reached out to the Museum of Lennox and Addington to enquire about a 1864 portrait found online (see featured image, Stephen Manson Benson Photograph Collection, Archives of Lennox and Addington). Dr. Lilla learned that the sitter, Tobias Mink was the nephew of prominent business owner, George Mink. George Mink owned hotels and livery stables in Kingston and was also awarded the contract for the stagecoach and mail routes to Toronto. This talk is about how archives have helped to fill the historical blanks and how public art programs are engaging the public to learn about Black history.
Time: 7:00 pm (doors open at 6:30PM) Cost: $5/person Recommended for ages 13+
No pre-registration is required.
