We also acknowledge that people of African ancestry have been in Nova Scotia for over 400 years.

Our Sacred Teaching for today is Love:

This woman helped initiate the civil rights movement in the US when she refused to give up her seat to a white man in 1955. Her actions inspired the leaders of the local Black community to organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott which was led by a young Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The boycott lasted more than a year and ended when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that bus segregation was unconstitutional. Over the next half-century, she became a nationally recognized symbol of dignity and strength in the struggle to end entrenched racial segregation.
Her name is Rosa Parks
