Canadian Hip-Hop Heads Owe A Lot To Ron Nelson And His Fantastic Voyage

When it comes to Black history in Canada, our homegrown heroes, revolutionaries, and talent get overshadowed by our neighbours to the south. While we know all about Harriet Tubman, Malcolm X and Frederick Douglas, we don’t know much about the Black people in Canada who helped shaped this nation.

This Black History Month, we at Complex Canada hope to change that a little bit by commemorating a different history maker every Friday in February and raising Canada’s Black history IQ just a little bit.
