Rediscovering the Roots of Black New Brunswickers

Join us in person at the UNB Art Centre for the opening of Rediscovering the Roots of Black New Brunswickers at Memorial Hall on Friday, March 11 at 5:00 pm.

This special ongoing research project engages UNB students and members of the Black community in bringing to light those Black New Brunswickers who have strived for freedom and equality in a world of prejudice and discrimination. The latest exhibit features the faces and stories of nine new additions including poet Anna Minerva Henderson, police constable Robb Costello, educator Brian Carty, community volunteer John Young, soldier Robert Lawrence Henry, Paralympic athlete Frank Henderson, and boxer Louis Sterling Lawrence.

The in-person exhibition is on display until April 22. You can also visit our galleries online to view the latest installment of Rediscovering the Roots of Black New Brunswickers. For more about the UNB Art Centre’s various exhibits celebrating Black History Month visit our website and select the tab Past Exhibitions. If you would like to view a complete set of posters select Black History Month Posters.
