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 nations—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.
