Tonight through this weekend will be the final showings of the ‘Things My Fore-Sisters Saw’ production at Theatre Orangeville.
In this one-woman play, you will meet four women of African Descent who affected change in Canada.
Marie-Joseph Angelique, a slave who was said to have burned down “half” of Montreal from whom we have the first slave narrative in North America.
Rose Fortune, the first “policewoman” in North America who helped “freedom seekers” settle in Annapolis Royal Nova Scotia.
Mary-Ann Shadd, the first North American woman to publish and edit a newspaper, amongst other things.
And Viola Desmond, who refused to give up a seat to segregation well before the celebrated Rosa Parks and who was recently named as the new face of the Canadian $10 bill.
Experience how each of these women affected change in the Canada of their time and ours.
