Until We Are Free: Reflections on Black Lives Matter in Canada. Edited by Rodney Diverlus, Sandy Hudson, and Syrus Marcus Ware.
The killing of seventeen-year-old African-American high school student Trayvon Martin in 2012 inspired the Black Lives Matter movement, which quickly spread beyond the United States. The movement found fertile ground in Canada, where Black activists speak out against generations of injustices and continue the work of Black liberation.
Addressing some of the most urgent issues facing the Black community, Until We Are Free collects together writings and photographs on Canadian Black activism, touching on organizing efforts through the use of social media, Black-Indigenous alliances, and more.
"A powerful succession of analysis of Black realities in Canada. This anthology features some of the foremost Black Canadian writers and thinkers today." - Omayra Issa, Radio-Canada
