REACH in NB

Remembering Each African Cemetery's History in NB

Our Mandate

To reverse the erasure of Black History in NB, and to locate, identify, preserve and record Black Graves in New Brunswick.

The Daughters of the Diaspora Bursary Series 

Our History

Telling the stories of our ancestors has been a life mission for our Executive Director.

In 2020, Dr. McCarthy Brandt defended her PhD dissertation, titled Segregated in Life and in Death, A Black Woman’s Critical Exploration and Narrative Account of Early African Descended Communities and Graveyards in New Brunswick.

After completion, Dr. McCarthy Brandt realised she had to continue her work, and the non-profit REACH in NB was formed.
