Canada has a rich Black history filled with fascinating stories of resilience, advocacy and innovation. Black people have been in Canada for over 400 years - for as long as the first Europeans. Their labour helped to build Canada's economy, their skills led Canada's innovation and their activism helped make Canada a better place. Trailblazers: The Black Pioneers Who Have Shaped Canada is a disruptive children's book that introduces readers to Canada's Black history through the incredible and undertold stories of over forty important Black agents of change in Canada. Some of these trailblazers such as Josiah Henson have saved lives through their bravery, others such as Viola Desmond and Bromley Armstrong have improved laws through their advocacy. Some such as Bernice Redmon have broken down barriers by being the first in their field while others such as Elijah McCoy have invented new or better ways of doing things. With representation across regions, time periods and experiences and each short story carefully written in poetic form and accompanied by beautiful illustrations, this anthology brings complex topics and historical facts to life. Readers will finish this book with new knowledge gained, challenged ideas and a guide on how to blaze their own trails.

Download and read online ebook Rise to Greatness write by Conrad Black. This book was released on 2014-11-11. Rise to Greatness available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Masterful, ambitious, and groundbreaking, this is a major new history of our country by one of our most respected thinkers and historians -- a book every Canadian should own. From the acclaimed biographer and historian Conrad Black comes the definitive history of Canada -- a revealing, groundbreaking account of the people and events that shaped a nation. Spanning 874 to 2014, and beginning from Canada's first inhabitants and the early explorers, this masterful history challenges our perception of our history and Canada's role in the world. From Champlain to Carleton, Baldwin and Lafontaine, to MacDonald, Laurier, and King, Canada's role in peace and war, to Quebec's quest for autonomy, Black takes on sweeping themes and vividly recounts the story of Canada's development from colony to dominion to country. Black persuasively reveals that while many would argue that Canada was perhaps never predestined for greatness, the opposite is in fact true: the emergence of a magnificent country, against all odds, was a remarkable achievement. Brilliantly conceived, this major new reexamination of our country's history is a riveting tour de force by one of the best writers writing today.
