About This Item
Toronto: Groundwood Books/House of Anansi Press, 2018. Book. Illus. by Richard Rudnicki (Illustrator). Fine. Soft cover. 4 to. pictorial paper, unpaged : color illustrations, a fine copy, post will be reduced,In Nova Scotia, in 1946, an usher in a movie theater told Viola Desmond to move from her main floor seat up to the balcony. She refused to budge. Viola knew she was being asked to move because she was black. In no time at all, the police arrived and took Viola to jail. She is an unsung hero of one of Canada's oldest and most established black communities. Like Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks, who many years later, in 1955, refused to give up their bus seats in Alabama, Desmond's act of refusal awakened people to the unacceptable nature of racism and began the process of bringing an end to racial segregation in Canada. .
