Social Movements

Mary Ann Shadd - Newspaper Editor and Spokesperson for Underground Railroad Community Canadians have a long tradition of effecting social change through social movements spearheaded by voluntary associations. The impact and experiences of these movements are recognized through commemorations which address larger expressions of social action - cooperatives, temperance and other voluntary organizations. Such commemorations include events such as the Ten Acadian National Conventions (1881-1937), which were instrumental in establishing and asserting the Acadian identity.
