Journey Back to Jackson Park (2019)

Journey Back to Jackson Park documents the beginnings of research led by the Jackson Park Project team, as they take a look at the Emancipation Day celebrations that took place in Windsor, Ontario, Canada during the 1930s into the 1960s. These celebrations drew people from all across North America (Canada and the US), becoming known as "the Greatest Freedom Show On Earth", marking the abolition of slavery in 1834. It's a little-known legacy but its contribution to Canada's landscape runs deep.
