It's being called a step towards the dismantling of systemic anti-black racism in Canada. on Monday, Motion 83 was adopted by the Canadian Senate to recognize August 1st as Emancipation Day in this country. Nova Scotia Senator Wanda Thomas Bernard discusses why the date is significant, and why it's important for reparations and reconciliation with African Canadians. In 2018 she introduced a private members bill looking for this date to be recognized in Canada on the anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the British Colonies in 1834.
