Unit 3: Confronting Systemic Anti-Black Racism in Canada

Week 7 Outline

“I feel that if we don’t take seriously the ways in which racism is embedded in structures of institutions, if we assume that there must be an identifiable racist who is the perpetrator, then we won’t ever succeed in eradicating racism.”

Angela Davis
