Solidarity Halifax is proud to have collaborated with
Ujamaa
and the
Kwacha House Cafe
in the creation of
Working While Black in Nova Scotia. The project aims to publish anonymous stories of anti-black
racism in the workplace in Nova Scotia. Publishing these stories
allows workers in the Black community to know that they are not
alone in their experience of racism. The website also serves as
a means to circulate these stories beyond the Black community.
This is especially important since white and other Nova Scotians
often operate under the mistaken assumption that racism is a
thing of the past.
