In honor of Black History Month AMAAS is celebrating the stories of Viola Desmond, Carrie Best and Charles Daniels.
We invite you to watch these short films and celebrate Black History while reflecting on the work that still has to be done to achieve equality and to create an anti-racist future.
The videos include introductions from Cheryl Foggo and Melanee Murray-Hunt, and Cheryl Foggo’s short feature “Kicking Up A Fuss.”
Desmond, Best and Daniels were early trailblazers in the fight for justice and equality, and demonstrate that small acts of defiance can have a great impact on systemic issues.
