United Church Bookstore: Reflections on Emancipation and Anti-Black Racism for Canada by Paul Douglas Walfall
Seeking to raise awareness about the history of African enslavement and the legacies of slavery in Canada, this book collects reflections from theologians, historians, and pastors on the relevance of the celebration of the abolition of slavery for Canada. This book is a great way to engage and reflect on the history of chattel slavery in this country. Find this, and all the books that will be featured in the ENGAGE with Love & Justice Gathering, on the United Church Bookstore website.
