Carrie Best SHATTERED Racist Canadian Stereotypes
Manage episode 354486377 series 3365758
Carrie Best grew up in Nova Scotia in a time where racism, segregation, and controlling stereotypes ran the province. Her parents were never given the opportunity to pursue formal education, and so they encouraged all of their children to go after what they wanted, regardless of the obstacles that were placed in their way due to systemic racism. Carrie's business and education prospects were extremely limited to 'women's work', but she refused to be forced into that box, she was a talented writer and storyteller so she pursued that full force. She and her son created The Clarion, Nova Scotia's first Black owned and operated newspaper. Carrie continued to write, host her own radio show, and advocate on behalf of the Black community in anyway that she could.
