As the Artists of Colour, we have established our mandate to celebrate, preserve and share perspectives of Black culture through the arts. This exhibition at Leamington Art Centre invites the viewer to discover the creative process of each artist. As artists, it is imperative that we tell our stories. The concepts in this body of work convey individual messages and thoughts relative to those stories. Our commission to share individual talents through personal experiences, displaying visual art, literary art, and music, is celebrated through this exhibition. 
A Legacy That Changed Canadian Policing
The screening of Police Detective Parker will be held at the Windsor International Film Festival on November 3 at 8:15 p.m. at the Armouries Performance Hall. Directed and produced by Preston Chase Acclaimed director and producer of the award-winning documentary Mr. Emancipation: The Walter Perry Story In 1941, Alton C. Parker made history as Windsor’s first Black police officer. Navigating an era of deep systemic prejudice, his unshakable integrity propelled him to become Canada’s first Black detective—proving his skeptics wrong with every single promotion. But his journey is also the story of a city. Far more than a blue-collar border town, Windsor, Ontario, was a vibrant cross-border hub of civil rights, music, and politics along the Detroit River where history-makers met. This is the untold story of a movement, a city at the crossroads of change, and a man who proved that history is written by those brave enough to rewrite it.
