Black lives matter

"The longstanding history of racial harassment and discrimination in the Maritime Provinces is well documented, and the COVID-19 pandemic further exposes how systemic racism has caused health inequities that are harming Black and Indigenous people and communities.

We grieve over the deaths of George Floyd and Regis Korchinski-Paquet. We stand against anti-Black, anti-Indigenous and all other forms of racism. We stand with you against intolerance, prejudice and racism.”

Sincerely,

Dr. David Anderson, Dean, Faculty of Medicine  

Dr. OmiSoore Dryden, James R. Johnston (JRJ) Chair in Black Canadian Studies
