Canadian Museum for Human Rights

Below are links to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. After reading about the two different topics, you will be writing a journal.

Africville: https://humanrights.ca/story/the-story-of-africville

Have you heard of Africville before (I hadn't learned about it until I was in teacher's college)?

Why do you think some Canadians don't know about it?

Do you think what happened to the community was legal? Morally right?

Did the city have just cause for removing them?

Viola Desmond (not Davis): https://humanrights.ca/story/one-womans-resistance

What was Viola Desmond charged with?

What does this statement mean to you: "The racism in the United States was truly in your face. In Canada, the racism was very polite - sort of undercover." Do you think this statement is still true?

Anything else to add on the topics?
