Black British Columbian [Canadians] have a legacy of leadership, accomplishments and community building that is as long as the story of our province.

Her story is pretty inspiring. And, New York City should rename the Queens-Midtown Tunnel to honor her! #NamingGotham #history #historymatters #blackhistorymonth #blacklawyers #NewYorkCity #NYC #histodon #awardwinning #book @histodons #historybuff #historyteacher https://www.historyinthemargins.com/2023/04/25/jane-matilda-bolin-another-guest-post-by-rebecca-bratspies/
