🇨🇦🇮🇪 A powerful day of remembrance in Ottawa.
On June 14, bronze shoes were unveiled at Macdonald Gardens Park—marking their place on #GlobalIrishFamineWay
The bronze shoes honour those who fled famine in 1847 & the Bytown citizens who showed them compassion.

In Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield: The Abolitionist “Black Swan”, Christine Kinealy shares the story of Elizabeth.
