Periodic Table of Canadian Black History

Inspired by a similar project from a US school library, the original Periodic Table of Canadian Black History was created in 2020 by a Parents for Diversity Board member and displayed in an Ottawa primary school. The Periodic Table of Canadian Black History is a tool that educators, students, and families can use to explore and celebrate the stories, voices, and accomplishments of Black Canadians.
