Many
people
think
that
Kitchener’s
first
Black
residents
only
came
here
in
the
1960s
and
70s,
but
did
you
know
that
the
first
Black
person
actually
arrived
in
Waterloo
region
in
1806?
On
this
walk
we
will
talk
about
Berlin’s
connection
to
the
early
Black
settlers
of
the
Queens
Bush
settlement.
Further,
we
will
visit
former
sites
where
Black
residents
lived,
had
their
businesses
and
schools
in
the
19thcentury
and
learn
about
their
lives
and
contributions
to
our
community.
You
will
hear
about
black
teachers,
a
black
lawyer,
and
black
domestic
workers.
One
of
Berlin’s
black
residents
even
ran
for
office!
Come
join
us
to
find
out
who
that
was.
As
we
recover
and
re-tell
these
histories
you’ll
look
at
this
town
differently
and
realize
that
Kitchener’s
heritage
is
more
colourful
and
richer
than
we
thought.
