==Ontario Black Africans==
*Most of '''Ontario's black settlements''' were in and around '''Windsor, Chatham, London, St Catharines and Hamilton'''. '''Toronto had a black district''', and there were smaller concentrations of blacks near '''Barrie, Owen Sound and Guelph.''' Also from Wikipedia: The refugee slaves who settled in Canada did so '''primarily in South Western Ontario, with significant concentrations being found in Amherstburg, Colchester, Chatham, Windsor, and Sandwich.'''<ref name="Black"/>
*In Ontario the Underground Railroad fugitives tended to concentrate in settlements, less as a consequence of government policy than for the sake of mutual support and protection against white Canadian prejudice and discrimination and American kidnappers.
*The fugitive blacks who had arrived in Ontario via the Underground Railroad typically arrived destitute, and without government land grants were usually forced to become labourers on the lands of others, although some farmed their own land successfully, and some worked for the Great Western Railway. 
*During the 19th century, British and American societies established schools for blacks throughout Ontario. The government of Ontario created legally segregated public schools. In 1965 the last segregated school in Ontario closed.<ref>"Black Canadians", The Canadian Encyclopedia, https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/black-canadians, accessed 14 October 2020.</ref>
