History
Wahenga was produced by the Queen's University Black History Collective with funding from the Ontario Anti-Racism Secretariat and the Queen's Alumni Association. It was an autonomous organization comprised of associations, groups and individuals committed to the examination and articulation of the rich and varied historical experiences of Black people everywhere. The Collective was open to all who were interested in the recognition, promotion and preservation of Black history, culture, customs, traditions and the contributions of Black peoples. The journal was governed by an editorial board that focused on issues that affect the Black population in all spheres of life and included articles, critical essays, film and book reviews and poetry. The journal was printed Newman Printing in Kingston and published twice a year.
