The purpose of the African Canadian Scholar’s Reading List is to infuse society with knowledge about the contributions of the Black community. Throughout the year and on special occasions we will feature literary resources that lead you to stories of Black experiences, Black lives, and issues of relevance to the African Diaspora.

​

The list can be utilized by teachers, librarians, parents, families and community groups for teaching, learning, celebrating, and recognizing Black history and Black lives. The list is compiled with input from scholars and members of the community throughout Canada and the world.
