Teaching African Canadian History is a digital humanities project led by Principal Investigator Dr. Natasha Henry-Dixon, PhD (York University), with website design and development carried out by Walk With Web. The website, launched in February 2026, is designed as an educational and research-focused platform that provides accessible, authoritative resources on the histories of people of African descent in Canada and across the African Diaspora.

The project brings together a comprehensive range of materials to support teaching, learning, and public engagement. These include scholarly publications, primary and secondary historical sources, curated lesson plans, information on events and historical sites, and multimedia resources such as podcasts, films, and videos. By centralizing these materials within a structured digital environment, the platform enables educators, students, and researchers to integrate African Canadian history into curricula and scholarship more effectively.

Walk With Web contributed to the technical development and implementation of the site, ensuring a sustainable, user-centered infrastructure that supports long-term access, discoverability, and content expansion. The project aligns with WWW’s broader mandate to build digital platforms that advance inclusive historical research, ethical knowledge dissemination, and community-engaged scholarship.
