This exclusive event will provide the guests with entertainment and an education of North American black history, heritage, wealth and a reminder of who we were before the Abolition Act. This event is designed to recognize North American blacks that excelled at their profession, both past and present. The Abolition Act passed by the British Parliament banned slavery throughout the British Empire. This Act made Canada the final destination in North America on the Underground Railroad to freedom.
