She was the first governor general’s wife to tour Canada and became one of the most well-known and popular viceregal consorts (1872–78). As governor general, Lord Dufferin was expected to be above party politics and refrain from attending debates in the House of Commons.

Slave songs are a point of pride for Vancouver musician Khari McClelland. The songs of African-American slaves who crossed into Canada are more than 150 years old, but Vancouver-based musician Khari McClelland still takes pride in them today.
McClelland's great-great-great-grandmother Kizzy is one of those slaves, forgotten by the history books but remembered fondly by family. Even her last name has been lost.

No images of Kizzy survive. "Her willingness to struggle and survive in the face of so much is why I'm sitting right here. " Kizzy died before McClelland was born. Eventually, after slavery was officially abolished in the United States in 1865, Kizzy and her two children crossed back to settle in the Detroit area.
