We Will Win: Black Lives Matter – Toronto

Factsheet

Description

This factsheet is a snapshot of the progression of anti-Black racism, which in 2014, was seen as an American-only issue thanks to the deliberate message portraying Canada as the antithesis to the United States, which ignores the slavery, violence, segregation and displacement in Canadian history. Black Lives Matter (BLM) activism in Canada has now begun to broadcast anti-Black racism in Canadian media.
