Default Vancouver anti-racism advocates calling for Black Shirt Day

Vancouver anti-racism advocates calling for Black Shirt Day

Dec 9, 2020

A group of Vancouver anti-racism activists are taking inspiration from the effect that Pink Shirt Day has had in schools to open up discussion about bullying and are proposing the creation of Black Shirt Day to promote the discussion of Black history.

They’re proposing Jan. 15, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, as the appropriate date.

Kamika Williams of Anti-Racism Coalition Vancouver is one of the organizers.

“It’s to promote education on anti-racism and civil rights,” she said Wednesday over the phone. “We thought that (King’s birthday) would be a good day. The goal is eventually to make (Black Shirt Day) recognized around the world.”
