Black Heritage

Crossing through the Detroit River lies a shared story of courage, resilience, and community that transcends borders. The Windsor-Detroit connection is rooted in Black heritage that shaped both nationsβ€”from the freedom seekers who crossed the river toward liberty, to the cultural and musical movements that continue to inspire generations. Exploring this history together allows groups to connect with a legacy of strength and pride that unites our two regions in a truly powerful way.
