Canada abstained from a UN resolution recognizing slavery as one of the gravest violations of human rights in history.
This week's #HearThis asks what does recognition require when acknowledgment becomes politically uncomfortable?

The Week of March 29th #HearThis Sharing 3 Pieces of Black Specific Content with my kids this week “The world archives call this a trade, but my body remembers this as theft. My DNA remembers it as captivity and brutality. My DNA remembers its 2 million ancestors who died at sea, it remembers that before the ships and chains that we were whole, that our dignity was not something that we had to earn, but as something that we all already carried. It remembers our liberty, not as a colonial gift, but as our innate birthright.” Remarks by Shahaddah Jack, first Poet Laureate of Toronto, at the 75th plenary meeting of the 80th session of the General Assembly on the International Day of Remembrance of Victims of Slavery and Transatlantic Slave Trade.”

Museums are often presented as neutral keepers of history.
This week’s #HearThis explores the legacy of empire, the ongoing debate over cultural restitution, and why the question of who owns history is still unresolved.

The Week of March 15th #HearThis Sharing 3 Pieces of Black Specific Content with my kids this week “Any 3D artists follow me? I got an Oscar worthy short film idea to go with this image. Get at me 😳” — Matthew A. Cherry Oscar Awards Winner 2020 — Best Animated Short Film ‘Hair Love’
nick_sweetman 'Before i left for Sacramento, I started a wall with @elicserelliott @scieter and @workingspy3000 and contributed this portrait of Mamie Till, the mother of Emmett Till, who was murdered at 14 by two white men in Mississippi in 1955. Emmett’s killers tortured him brutally and left his face so disfigured, his mother left the casket open for his funeral so that the world could see. That decision sparked such a forceful outcry that it mobilized Americans, black and white, to acknowledge and act out against racial violence and is considered one of the beginnings of the civil rights movement. Till’s murderers were acquitted and a year later in a magazine interview confessed to the crime without remorse. The story followed them for the rest of their lives and they were outcast from society, but they were free to roam wherever they pleased after confessing to literally getting away with murder. A memorial to Emmett Till was replaced last year with a thick bulletproof plate after multiple generations of memorials were riddled with bullet holes. This year, 2020, 65 years later 3 Louisville police officers broke into Breonna Taylor’s apartment under dubious assumptions and fired blindly into the walls of the apartment, killing her in her bed. The three men are still free today, though Mississippi taxpayers will be paying $12 million in restitution to Taylor’s family, represented in this mural by her mother Tamika Palmer. Thankfully, because of prolonged nationwide protests, there will be positive police reforms in Lousiville accompanying this tragedy, but the current President, the one who today failed to win re-election legally, has responded to the protests with indifference, violent rhetoric, and aggressive unconstitutional displays of force. ...There is much more work to do but hopefully now it will start. We cannot accept ignorance anymore from those in power. “Ignorance allied with power is the most ferocious enemy justice can have” James Baldwin'
Honouring William Peyton Hubbard: A commitment built for tomorrow Main Content William Peyton Hubbard portrait February 4, 2026 By Dr. Gervan Fearon, President, George Brown Polytechnic Names matter. Names shape culture. As a post-secondary institution, the names we choose for our spaces help define the learning experiences we deliver and elevate the diverse stories that shape who we are as an organization. That is why on February 5, 2026, we are officially naming the atrium of our Chef School, a vital gathering point at George Brown Polytechnic, in honour of a visionary leader and Toronto’s first elected Black politician, William Peyton Hubbard.

The same way we know immediately when we get to Greektown or Chinatown, that same energy should be applied to Little Jamaica. So the City needs to deal with that @mayoroliviachow

LANRICK BENNETT JR., CREATOR OF #HEARTHIS BLACK HISTORY IN THE #EASTEND (PICTURED LEFT) TALKS TO LUKE GALATI, A GUEST SPEAKER ON THE TOUR (PICTURED RIGHT). Li: AMANDA SERAPHINA/THE GREEN LINE. Led by Bennett Jr., the tours began on Aug. 2, 2024, and featured guest speakers such as Galati, who in 2019 advocated to bring basketball nets back to his alma mater, Earl Grey Senior Public School. "The area has a lot of Black residents, and I think sometimes their stories don't get amplified as much as they deserve. I also think that through exploring Black history, you're also learning the history of other people, too," Galati tells The Green Line.
Feb 14th of #BHM
The Anti-Black racism in #TorontoDanforth regarding the removal of basketball nets was what started my drive to tell Black Stories in my community. It was the genesis of #HearThis
