Alberta has a long history of white supremacy and Black civil rights activism. Bashir Mohamed - and any other student in Alberta - learned nothing about it in school. Fueled by a racist encounter with an Edmonton driver, Mohamed started digging through archives to prove that his experience wasn't a one-off. What he uncovered was a long and consistent history of segregation and other institutional barriers, and an equally long and consistent history of Black resistance. In particular, he hightlights the 1922 case of Lulu Anderson, who sued the Metropolitan Theatre in Edmonton after its management refused her admission.
