Everyday Activism, Critical Resistance

The Jean Augustine Chair in Education, Community & Diaspora hosted their annual Black History Month event sponsored by Unifor on February 15, 2018.

In this conversation, award-winning poet, novelist and documentarian Dionne Brand engages in dialogue with Toronto social activist Angela Robertson, and Montreal community organizer and author of Policing Black Lives (2017), Robyn Maynard. Together they reflect on the ways in which in their activism, people of African descent resist the daily acts of gendered, classed and sexual racialization in Canadian society.
