This week, Grace and Linnea discuss the recent activism occurring around the world in support of Black Lives Matter and other BIPOC organizations. It seemed like a fitting time to dive into the Viola Desmond Heritage Minute, detailing the heroic activism of Viola in opposition to racial segregation on a fateful night in November 1946. Minute Women Podcast supports Black Lives Matter.
