Opirg Kingston People’s History Project


The People’s History Project is here as a resource and archive, to recognize and preserve the important roles that students and community members have played in social movements throughout the years. The stories of people who participated in struggles for social and environmental justice – queer, Indigenous, Black, anti-racist, feminist, among many others – often go untold in “official” histories. The PHP seeks to engage with these stories by making accessible the rich history of social movements and resistance in Katarokwi/Kingston.
