This series consists of diverse materials about Black history and culture, mostly in Canada, chiefly created in the 1970s. Some of the documents are informational or advocacy materials regarding Black-majority countries and communities outside Canada. There are numerous files related to both the Black National Coalition of Canada and Festac '77. There are also some materials about other ethnic minority communities. These materials are in variety of formats including studies, reports, typescripts, historical document reproductions, informational index cards, and concert advertisements and play programs. In some cases, the items lack context, such as a clear indication of their author or of the purpose for which they were created.
