Black Canada Talking™ is a live online event that provides Black Canadians opportunity to give their takes and POVs on stories that are of importance to them.
Our guest on today’s episode of Black Canada Talking™ is Elise Harding-Davis.
Elise Harding-Davis, African Canadian Heritage Consultant, is one of the foremost authorities on African Canadian history and events connected to the development and progress of North America. Her unique perception reveals the early presence of African origin pioneers and freedom fighters in British Canada revealing the invaluable roles of The Black Thread in the Canadian Tapestry.
A seventh generation African Canadian born in Windsor, Ontario, she now resides in Harrow, Ontario. Elise retired as the Curator/Administrator of the North American Black Historical Museum & Cultural Centre Ltd. and The Nazery African Methodist Episcopal Church National Historic Site (now The Amherstburg Freedom Museum) after 32 years of dedicated service. Simultaneously, Elise has taught Black Studies at St. Clair College since 1993 and networked widely with numerous international educational facilities. She was also an Executive Administrator at Hotel Dieu Grace Hospital for six years with a portfolio dealing with Physician/Staff complaints and the review/revision of policy and procedure to ensure diversity/cultural competency. Elise also organized/managed the office of the Member of Parliament for the riding of Essex for eight years and acted as his spokesperson throughout the riding.
Ms. Harding-Davis’ passion has given her the opportunity to travel globally, at Universities and Canadian Consulates across North America and to countries including China and the continent of Africa lecturing and promoting the history of people of African descent in Canada. Elise‘s impressive volume of work includes numerous guest articles in various newspapers and magazines internationally and several books including, The Black Presence in the War of 1812, chronicling Black military involvement, and, The Colors of Essex County which concentrates on 13 sacred African Canadian cemeteries in Essex County. She has helped to preserve and attain heritage status for these irreplaceable burial sites. Elise was a core member of The African Canadian Tour Program and still acts as a Tour Guide. Mrs. Harding-Davis worked with Police Forces for several years to devise less biased hiring practices for Women, Indigenous Peoples, Blacks and the Disabled. She has supported and educated minority youth helping them to develop improved self-image and seek post-secondary education.
Elise has received many awards, letters of appreciation and certificates of merit including both The Golden and Diamond Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Metals for her tireless service in elevating the little know/unappreciated history of her people.
Ms. Harding-Davis feels that all facets of history have a Black component, therefore, in her words, “Without Black History—All History is Incomplete”.
