 Carrie Best
Founder of Nova Scotia's first newspaper for blacks, heard the story and wrote about it. This happened in 1946, nine years before Rosa Parks' own brave act.
Viola Desmond Her crime was this: when stopping in a town unfamiliar to her, she mistakenly sat in the locally known "whites-only" section of a theatre. Although she offered to pay
the difference in ticket price to remain in her seat, she was arrested, convicted, and fined.
Viola and Carrie organized other blacks to lobby the Nova Scotia government which finally repealed the law of segregation in 1954. Carrie Best worked in and for her community until her death in 2001 at the age of 97. |
