DESCRIPTION:As part of Homecoming 2020\, join the 51³Ô¹ÏÍøBlack Alumni Assoc
 iation for a conversation between advocates and activists\, including thre
 e 51³Ô¹ÏÍøLaw alumni\, who are striving to dismantle the structures upholdi
 ng anti-Blackness in Canada.\n\nContext\n\nThe pandemic has served as a st
 ark reminder that Black communities across Canada are not spared the anti-
 Black racism that many assume only occurs in the US. From disproportionate
  health effects\, heightened economic devastation\, and hyper-targeted (ov
 er)policing\, Black communities have been told to stay off the grass that 
 has never been greener on our side of the border.\n\nDespite the renewed u
 rgency of the movement in support of Black lives\, the persistent myth tha
 t Canadian racism is 'not as bad' has impeded frank discussions about race
  and the universality of anti-Blackness.\n\nBy analyzing the effects of th
 e COVID-19 pandemic on Black communities\, this event seeks to problematiz
 e and disrupt the Canadian status quo.\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n	Annamaria Enenajor
 \, BCL/LLB’12\, partner at Ruby Shiller Enenajor DiGiuseppe\, and advocate
  for cannabis amnesty\n	Anthony N. Morgan\, BCL/LLB’12\, manager of Toronto
 's Confronting Anti-Black Racism Unit\n	Brittany Williams\, BCL/LLB’19\, Pr
 ograms and Strategy Manager at Girls Action Foundation\, and former Execut
 ive Director of the Legal Information Clinic at McGill\n	Desmond Cole\, act
 ivist\, journalist and author of The Skin We're In\n	Emilie Nicolas\, human
  rights advocate and columnist for Le Devoir\n\n\nKindly register on alumn
 i.mcgill.ca.\n\nThe link to join the event will be sent to registrants 24 
 hours in advance.\n
