It is Black History Month and each day this month I am sharing stories from Canada's Black history. Today, it is the story of journalist and activist Carrie Best! Through her life, Carrie fought for equal rights for Black Canadians in Nova Scotia. 🧵1/10

Looking forward to diving into this. Thanks Rick for all you do 🙂
