CHATHAM, ONT. The Chatham-Kent Black Historical Society and Black Mecca Museum continue to celebrate Black History Month more than a week after it concluded, thanks to a timely donation. The museum was presented with $7,000 this past Friday. The money was raised by The Sons of Kent Co. in Chatham, and Kitchener author Brock Greenhalgh, who combined the sales from the commemorative Chatham Coloured All-Stars beer and a book on the same subject. With everything being closed during the pandemic right now, we don’t have visitors coming in, so we’re missing out on a lot of tourism dollars. So, this is going to be a fantastic donation to us, says Museum Executive Director and Curator Samantha Meredith.
