Thank you @riarenouf and CityNews Vancouver for covering this important story! Black British columbians deserve to learn in safe environments where they’re reflected AND respected in the curricular content. It time to teach all British Columbians Black history IS Canadian history!
Last summer, I called on the VPD Police Board to fire @ChiefPalmer because he doesn’t believe systemic racism exists in Canadian policing. Recent events prove how wrong he is, and how dangerous his beliefs are. It’s time for action! Kennedy Stewart globalnews.ca/video/rd/83b1c…
That’s my MLA! Thank you Janet Routledge for amplifying the voices of your constituents and championing the need for #CanadianBlackHistory to be taught year round! I’m hopeful we’ll get there soon! #StrongerTogether
What a privilege to hear Cornel West to speak about (BC) Black history. Listen in now!
