About the exhibition

Curator Dayo Kefentse presents Generation X Marks the Spot, exploring Black history in Mississauga. This exhibition features an audio documentary that looks back at the late 1980s and reveals how young activists with the Black Action Defense Committee (BADC) sparked change after a shooting involving a Black teen in Mississauga. It also features an interview with Ingrid Pellew-Berkeley, a former Deputy Chief with Peel Regional Police, about how Michael Wade Lawson’s shooting changed policing in the city.

On display until December 2024, this project was funded through the Museums BIPOC Community Curator Program.
