2021 BLACK HISTORY - AMBER VALLEY Issue

Honour the community of Amber Valley, AB with this Official First Day Cover. The cancel location is Athabasca, Alberta.

Amber Valley was founded around 1910 by Black Americans escaping escalating racial violence and oppressive Jim Crow laws.

These settlers faced hardship, unforgiving winters and discrimination. Their arrival sparked a racist backlash, and in response the federal government put measures in place that prevented other Black settlers from coming to Canada. Nevertheless, the community thrived until after the Second World War, when many moved to cities seeking better economic opportunities.
