Meet Viola Desmond

MacLeod, Elizabeth,

On the night of November 8th 1946, Nova Scotia businesswoman Viola Desmond stood up for her right to be in the "unofficial" whites-only section of a New Glasgow movie theatre . . . and was arrested for it.

While she ultimately did not succeed, she was a beacon to other early civil-rights activists. Her sister Wanda worked hard to promote Viola's legacy, which has finally been honoured by Viola's inclusion on the new Canadian $10 bill.
