Non-profit calls on feds to launch commission on legacy of slavery, racism in Canada
- A non-profit called the Black Class Action Secretariat wants the federal government to create a national commission to study the legacy of slavery and anti-Black racism in Canada.
- The commission would examine the impacts of slavery, segregation, and systemic racism, and propose a national framework to address these issues.
- Although Emancipation Day on August 1 marks the abolition of slavery in 1834, Canada has never fully studied how this history affects Black Canadians today.
- The Secretariat urges the government to consult Black communities and others to establish the commission, which would create a lasting record and recommend actions for Parliament.
