“Canada Post has issued a new Black History Month stamp featuring Marie Joseph Angélique. Her story not only sheds light on the tragic history of enslavement in what is now Canada – it also reveals a woman who sought to resist her bondage and empower herself in ways that were available to her. Marie Joseph Angélique was a Black woman who was enslaved by Thérèse de Couagne in Montréal. She had a reputation for defiance – including, at one point, allegedly threatening to kill her enslaver.”

Marishana Mabusela, Lord Senior Consultant, provided a comprehensive research package on the life and legacy of Marie Joseph Angélique, including significant research into images and digital media assets looking at how she’s been represented, since there are no known photographs of her.

It's devastating to see such a beautiful city in such ruins.” – Lord Senior Consultant Erica Rawles, who was born and raised in Los Angeles and is currently based in the city.
