Pour une histoire des Noirs au canada

Pour une histoire des Noirs au Canada (For a History of Black Canadians) is a vibrant and exciting animated series that tells the extraordinary stories of Black people who have shaped Canadian history. Over the course of its 20 episodes, young viewers are immersed in unique stories that span different eras and fields, from politics to sports to the arts.

In this series, we patrol the streets of Ontario with Peter Butler III, the province’s first Black police officer, and lace up our skates with Willie O’Ree, the NHL’s first Black player. We follow Yvette Bony, the first doctor to perform a bone marrow transplant on a child in Quebec, and we take the plunge from the highest peaks with Jennifer Abel, the first Black woman to win an Olympic medal in diving.

Vibrant, accessible, and moving, Pour une histoire des Noirs au Canada explores, with great sensitivity, themes such as racism and slavery. We celebrate the achievements and legacy of these figures who, with great determination and courage in the face of adversity, have written an important part of our history.
