It was when this settlement faced difficulties of marginal agricultural land and severe weather condition. The Afro-American were also discriminated by local and federal government. They have to fight with he prejudice securing their identity as one community. These societies grew despite the animosity of their environment and their descendants have enriched Canadian society and culture. These set of two stamps were created by Lime Design.
