I think it's important for Black US folks to realize how important they are to our histories elsewhere.

To start we have Mary Ann Camberton Shadd Cary (1823-1893).

First Woman to publish a newspaper in Canada.

First Black woman publisher in North America.

First racially integrated school for Black Refugees in Windsor, Canada.
