Speakers for the Dead

  • St. Albert Public Library 5 Saint Anne Street St. Albert, Alberta, T8N 3Z9 Canada (map)

Join us for a community watch party and screening of the documentary Speakers for the Dead.

The film uncovers a hidden chapter of Black Canadian history in rural Ontario. In the 1930s, a farmer buried the headstones of an African Canadian cemetery to make way for a potato patch. Decades later, efforts to restore the cemetery in the 1980s brought buried histories to light, raising complex questions about race, memory, and whose stories are preserved.
