Putting Name to Face: Wilbert Sloman
Wilbert Sloman is another testament to the long-standing involvement of Black people in the educational sector in the Guelph, Wellington, and Waterloo regions. In 1900, when a replacement school was built in Wellesley, Wilbert Sloman was among the teachers employed.
Historical records dating back to the 1800s outline significant Black contributions to education. The Wellington Institute, a secondary (or high) school, was opened by a Black man in 1840. John Frederick Augustus Sykes Fayette, a university graduate, provided education at this school for citizens who went on to make meaningful contributions to society and, indeed, Canada.
