After seeing the post from npub1u3tka63yynzpd40nryz2fsrw39tedrxgfjdxpdtwf4hsr90usxfskpc6ug (npub1u3t…c6ug), I realized I didn't know the history of racial segregation in Canada (aside from the "Indian" Residential and Day Schools).
TIL that the last _legally_ segregated school in Canada closed in 1983.
1983.
Friends, I was 3 years old that year. It's only 40 years ago. Michael Jackson's "Beat It" was on the radio. Dallas and Dynasty were the must-watch TV shows.
Canada's history of racial segregation has tried to hide in the shadows cast by the US. Let's bring it out into the light and face it and do something about it.
