Ontario's Priceville was a small, thriving Black community — until it wasn't

The village of Priceville in southwestern Ontario was home to a vibrant Black community in the 1850s, but it had all but disappeared by the 1880s. Historians and descendants are trying to revive that history, starting with restoring the Black cemetery that was plowed over close to a century ago.
