And Then What Happened… Black Canadian History- the untold stories

Many people know how Freedom Seekers came to Canada through the Underground Railroad. But what happened after they arrived?
Created and presented by Tracy Lee Johnson, a fifth-generation Black Canadian with over 200 years of family history in Canada, this engaging presentation explores the communities, achievements, challenges, and legacies of Black Canadians whose stories are often missing from traditional history lessons.
Through powerful storytelling, music, historical images, and audience interaction, Tracy brings to life the experiences of pioneers, entrepreneurs, educators, faith leaders, and community builders who helped shape Canada. Drawing on both historical research and personal ancestral connections, she reveals how resilience, determination, and hope transformed freedom into opportunity.
More than a history presentation, And Then What Happened… Black Canadian History – The Untold Stories invites audiences to explore Canada’s rich and diverse heritage while reflecting on the contributions of those who came before us.
This inspiring and thought-provoking experience encourages meaningful conversation, celebrates untold stories, and reminds us that crossing the border was not the end of the journey.
Freedom was only the beginning.
