Welcome to episode 14 of Season 2 of the of the I Am Black History podcast brought to you by InTheBlack:Canada (ITBC) and DeeP Visions Media. Spending time with Vant Hayes was such a special treat. Mr. Hayes was born in Edmonton Alberta in 1926. His parent's families were part of the Oklahoma 1000s who came from Oklahoma to Alberta looking for a better life free from racial prejudice. His father's family settled in the Keystone area, now called Breton and his mother's family settled in a homestead called Pine Creek and then later in Amber Valley. Mr. Hayes shares first hand accounts of what life was like living on a farm with his mother and 9 siblings and later with his wife and daughters. This episode is a bit longer than usual but well worth the listen. Mr. Hayes really is Black History.
