As human rights are being eroded elsewhere in the world, the Archer Library and Archives remains committed to showcasing and amplifying the voices of those who have historically been oppressed, discriminated against, or under-represented. For Black History Month, we have a page dedicated to highlighting some of our resources either by or about Black Canadians or from the global Black diaspora, and you can find it here:

The Dr. John Archer Library & Archives invites you to a special Black History Month hybrid presentation, "A Black Panther in the Great White North: Fred Hampton Visits the Regina Campus in 1969" with Dr. Dawn Flood.

Dawn Rae Flood is an Associate Professor of History at Campion College at the University of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada. She is the author of Rape in Chicago: Race, Myth and the Courts (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2012, 2018) and “A Black Panther in the Great White North: Fred Hampton Visits Saskatchewan, 1969,” Journal for the Study of Radicalism, vol. 8 no. 2 (Fall 2014): 21-49. Her research focuses on race and gender relations in a modern, urban setting and radical activist movements in support of social justice. Her research on Fred Hampton’s visit to the Regina Campus of the University of Saskatchewan is currently being developed as a dramatic play and limited-run television series.
