Orangeville, ON, Canada / 101.5 Orangeville Today Feb 25, 2021 4:53 PM Wrapping up Black History Month, Alethia O’Hara-Stephenson reflects on 2020 and what it meant for social justice movements locally. The chair of Shelburne’s Anti-Racism Task Force and president of Dufferin County Canadian Black Association says both the pandemic and the murder of George Floyd spurred frank conversations about racial inequality in Dufferin County.
While O’Hara-Stephenson says much has been done for racial inequality last year, including the establishment of the two groups she leads, we still have our work cut out for us to dismantle systemic racism.
