Thankful for the opportunity to second the motion that recognized #EmancipationDay nationally here in Canada. All Cdns should fight for #freedom, #justice, and #equality. #BruceGreyOwenSound played an important part in abolishing slavery. Watch - youtu.be/F8GVcaV9miY
On #EmancipationDay, we acknowledge the painful history of slavery in Canada & celebrate the strength of Black communities who fought – and keep fighting – for freedom, justice, and equality. Pictured here is the Black History Cairn at Harrison Park. ow.ly/ojNA50PpWns
