Reading Viola Desmond
Viola Desmond Day is observed every November 8 in Nova Scotia to honour the memory of Viola Desmond, whose challenge against racial discrimination brought forth the repeal of segregation laws, and also to celebrate the richness of African-Canadian culture in Nova Scotia and across the country. Here are some books that do the same! Be sure to also check out *Viola Desmond: Her Life and Times*, By Graham Reynolds With Wanda Robson, a biography for adults.
