The #CitylineReal On Race series gives us an opportunity to dive into important conversations. Unfiltered. Unedited. Unflinching. Cityline host Tracy Moore leads honest discussions about race, privilege, and how to achieve systemic change. Panelists will include historians, academics, activists and young leaders. This episode features: Dr. Afua Cooper (Historian and author), Cicely Blain (Founder, Black Lives Matter Vancouver), and Joseph Smith (PhD (ABD), TDSB Educator). This panel discussion focuses on Anti-Black racism in Canada, starting with an overview of how we got to where we are today by understanding our deep-rooted and longstanding racism towards the Black community.
