“I'm Glad That Someone Is Telling the Nursing Story”

The paucity of historical materials on Black Canadian women does not necessarily mean the sources are unavailable. To recuperate and reconstruct Black Canadian women's subjugated knowledge requires drawing from fragments of materials available within and outside the archives. Using oral history as the primary methodology, as well as archival and nursing sources, coupled with secondary research, this essay exploits these sources to piece together the story of a group of women about whom very little is known. This research not only contributes to the history of nursing in Canada but also challenges the national narrative that touts the benign treatment of Black people in Canada.
