For more than two decades, Aly Ndiaye has been shining a spotlight on the parts of Quebec history you probably didn't learn in school. He's always been interested in history, he said, but it was music, specifically hip hop, that helped him figure out how best to share that hidden history with others. Five years ago, he created Quebec History X , a guided tour about the history of people of African descent in Quebec City. The name is a nod to the movie American History X, but also the idea that in algebra, x is the letter assigned to the unknown, he said. Ndiaye said Black history in Canada is taught through an American lens.
