Initiatives created in the 60s and 70s by individuals of African descent, such as the Black Peoples Conference and the Black Education Project, served as examples of the need for Black Canadians to take direct political action against institutional racism in Canada. Hoping to forge alliances with one another, these organizations recognized the global impact of Pan-Africanism and black radicalism that not only adopted, but also changed, the language of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements in the Canadian context. Carrying traditions of community uplift and cooperation, Aladejebi will discuss the ongoing legacies of black political and radical action through education.

Speaker Bio

Funké Aladejebi is a scholar of the twentieth century with a specialization in Black Canadian history and Assistant Professor of History at the University of Toronto. Her work explores the importance of Black Canadian women in sustaining their communities and preserving a distinct Black identity within restrictive gender and racial barriers. Aladejebi has been involved in a variety of community engagement and social justice initiatives in Toronto and her research interests are in oral history, and the history of education in Canada, Black feminist thought and transnationalism. Her book, Schooling the System: A History of Black Women Teachers, explores the intersections of race, gender and access in Canadian educational institutions. A co-edited collection, Unsettling the Great White North: Black Canadian History, is scheduled for release in January 2022.
