Photo exhibit examines Canadian descendants of slaves

Portraits examine black Ontarians whose ancestors came to Canada through the Underground Railroad

A Toronto photographer is taking another look at Ontario's role in the Underground Railroad.

Yuri Dojc photographed descendants of slaves living in Canada for a portrait series called North is Freedom. 

Several families from Windsor-Essex and other parts of southern Ontario participated in the project. Twenty-four portraits were included in the final exhibition.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
