No Reason to Apologize: The Resilient Legacy of Viola Desmond

Cover Art for No Reason to Apologize: The Resilient Legacy of Viola Desmond

Viola Desmond is an enduring icon who embodies the fight for racial equality and human rights. When she refused to give up her seat in the whites-only section of a cinema in 1946, she took a stand against injustice. Viola Desmond was also, however, a human being whose actions impacted her career, her relationships, and her reputation among the Black community in Halifax. Strong-willed and stubborn, Viola DesmondÎs ideologies would be sorely tested throughout her life, even as her efforts shone a bright light on a broken society.
