Portraits – Stories of Black Canadian Military Service

Portraits – Stories of Black Canadian Military Service

Recognizing a proud tradition through compelling accounts of service and sacrifice.

Black Canadians have had an enduring presence in Canada’s military history. They fought and died for freedom abroad, even as they have struggled against discrimination at home.

This panel exhibition celebrates the proud tradition of Black Canadian military service through compelling accounts of service and sacrifice from across the country.

Learn about their service. Discover their stories.

A travelling exhibition developed by the Canadian War Museum in partnership with the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia and the Niagara Military Museum.
