She introduces Abiola to the remarkable legacy of Black Caribbean soldiers who served and fought for Canada during the First… and Second World Wars. These men travelled from the warmth of their Caribbean nations to foreign battlefields, facing prejudice and hardship while remaining determined to serve with honour. Many returned to become doctors, lawyers, teachers, and community leaders. They were true heroes whose resilience helped shape Canada's history.
