In the Light of Dawn
The History and Legacy of a Black Canadian Community
Marie Carter
Carter, a lifelong resident of the area, challenges the prevailing story of the Dawn Settlement, arguing that rather than an example of a “failed” Black utopia at the end of the Underground Railway, it has been throughout its 200-year-history and continues to be a vibrant community of racial and economic diversity, whose people not only resisted slavery and oppression but also made successful and lasting contributions to the growth of local communities and the wider society.
