Good Morning #Canada
Viola Irene Desmond (July 6, 1914 – February 7, 1965) was a Canadian civil and women's rights activist and businesswoman of Black Nova Scotian descent. In 1946, she challenged racial segregation in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, by refusing to leave a whites-only area of the Roseland Theatre. Unfortunately she was not pardoned or received an apology until after her death but today she graces our $10 bill.
