Black Canadians reflect on this week's unrest
Five Black Canadians share what it’s like to watch this past week’s unprecedented protests against police brutality in the United States and the emotional turmoil they evoke.
From the aggressive tactics of police at demonstrations in the United States, to the increasing demand to recognize systemic racism against Black communities and deal with police violence, to the ongoing threat of COVID-19 — it has been a chaotic and politically charged week.
Today on Front Burner, we take a step back to listen to individuals who are deeply affected by the past week's events. Five Black Canadians share their reflections on worldwide protests following the death of George Floyd, who was killed by police, and the current attention toward issues of racial injustice and police brutality at home and abroad.
