I came across this video in preparation for a student discussion.  It’s a very powerful portrayal of a sad chapter in the history of Nova Scotia.  The story is also an inspiring account of how one person changed the world.  Social justice is something many of us take for granted.  We sometimes cheer for social justice as we watch it emerge, often on television or in movies.  That’s OK, and this video may be just that for some viewers but hopefully this story will continue to do much more especially as Nova Scotia Heritage Day approaches.   Social justice is worth fighting for.  Viola Desmond is a great example of someone who stood up for what she knew was right.  She fought for social justice and she changed the world.  Watch her story and follow her example.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI00i9BtsQ8
