African Heritage Month Fact
Did you know that Canada became known as a land of Freedom? Many  enslaved people from the U.S.A. left their homes and came to Canada to escape slavery. Thousands and thousands of people came to Canada via the Underground Railroad. It wasn’t an actual railroad, but a secret network of people and places that were safe and would help escaping African Americans.
