Events Description
Created by the BC Black History Awareness Society (BCBHAS) in partnership with the Royal BC Museum (RBCM), Hope Meets Action: Echoes Through the Black Continuum highlights the contributions of BC’s Black leaders across the centuries. The exhibition follows the seldom-told stories of Black people such as Sylvia Stark, who was born an enslaved person in Missouri, taught herself to read by secretly listening to her master’s children’s lessons, and eventually became a pillar of the Black pioneer community on Salt Spring Island. Her daughter Emma Stark would later become the first Black teacher on Vancouver Island. In addition, exhibition panels use artwork by young Black artists speaking to the history of the Hogan’s Alley community in Vancouver, BC.
