Of all the incredible people to be honoured this Black History Month 2020, and as part of the Read With River book club's Courageous Hearts theme, one of the ones I'm most proud to shine a spotlight on here on Instagram, for an international audience, is Viola Desmond, sometimes known as Canada's answer to Rosa Parks, and the first Black Canadian woman to appear on a Canadian banknote (the $10 bill). The beautiful "Viola Desmond Won't Be Budged!" (2010) by Jody Nyasha Warner, illustrated by Richard Rudnicki, tells the story of this amazing Nova Scotian, who never set out to be an activist, but was determined to be treated fairly and with respect. And so, in 1946, when she was told that she couldn't sit in "the good seats" in a movie theatre, Viola simply refused to accept it, and became an icon of civil disobedience for her troubles. A gorgeously colourful, wonderfully important picture book to remind us that civil rights struggles took place outside the familiar stories of the United States, and that we ALL have a responsibility to know our history.
