African Heritage Month:
*Chloe Cooley was a young enslaved woman who lived in Fort Erie, Upper Canada, in the late 1700s. On March 14, 1793, she was forcibly bound, thrown in a boat and sold across the river to a new “owner” in the United States. Her screams and passionate resistance were brought to the attention of Lieutenant Governor Simcoe and he immediately moved to abolish slavery in the new province.  On July 9, 1793, the assembly passed the “Act Against Slavery” which was the first piece of legislation in the British Empire to limit slavery.
