Emancipation Day Event
Friday, August 21 2020
Emancipation Day marks a special day for Africans to commemorate the abolition of slavery. The focus will be on racism towards Black people in this chilly climate that we are in. We will take the Slavery Abolition Act and apply it to current-day movements for Black liberation in Canada. Despite the abolition of slavery, many social conditions exist which prevent full emancipation from, and abolishment of racism against Black Canadians.
The note-taker will be responsible for watching the entire recording of the event and taking thorough notes for CESAR to use for our event summary. The recording and a Google document will be shared with volunteers to write their notes. The note-taker will have from Wednesday August 19th until Friday August 21st to submit their notes.
