@JILLSLASTWORD: The day #violadesmond took a seat, she took a stand! Her resistance would allow for countless Black folks, especially Black women, to be seen and heard today. Although we are still often fighting for the respect we deserve, we stand today… https://twitter.com/JILLSLASTWORD/status/1722351086789369920/photo/1

Good Morning #Canada
Viola Irene Desmond (July 6, 1914 – February 7, 1965) was a Canadian civil and women's rights activist and businesswoman of Black Nova Scotian descent. In 1946, she challenged racial segregation in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, by refusing to leave a whites-only area of the Roseland Theatre. Unfortunately she was not pardoned or received an apology until after her death but today she graces our $10 bill.#CanadaIsAwesome #ViolaDesmond #10DollarBill

Today Celestine and I went for a walk and finally had a chance to see the beautiful Viola Desmond art installation on Gottingen. Viola's story is important for understanding how segregation created great harm here in Nova Scotia and Canada as a whole. There are lasting hardships this province and city haven't done enough to address and this piece celebrates resistance.
