A new exhibit that examines the enslavement of Black people in Canada will open at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 on Emancipation Day next week. It's called A History Exposed, and the guest curator behind it is Afua Cooper, a Dalhousie University professor and the Killam Research Chair of Black History and African Diaspora Studies. She spoke with Mainstreet's Alex Guye.
