The case of Viola Davis Desmond is really interesting not only in African Nova Scotian Community but also in Nova Scotia's Government because it will push people to trike down any kind of segregations.
Maybe she was wrong by sitting in the seat of "white" with her floor seat but I think they could do it in a more respectful way instead of draining her as a sheep or even worse a wild beast and by doing that injured her knee.
I think that fact that the government insisted on arguing that her case was a case of evasion and without taking into consideration the legal segregation that the theatre utilized is really amazing above all the fact that the two men injured her knee were even not mentionned because she could at least recieve damaged from what they had done to her.
Nevertheless, I do agree with the fact Ms Desmond was pardoned by Nova Scotia Lt.-Gov. Mayann Francis as "A pardon removes the offense from the record as though it never happened, but each succeeding generation of Canadians should be aware of the struggle that Ms. Desmond engaged in." just because it is better late than never.
“If you allow people to dictate what you can and can’t do, then you will never reach your dreams.” this quotation of Ms DESMOND is really powerful in my opinion because " none but ourselves can free our mind " we have to take our future in our hand and do all we can in order to make things go better...For instance, it is really important for Black people to take control on their future by going to school as pointed out by Charles Dickens during his Speech on the opening of the Manchester Free Library in 1852 "the more a man knows, the more humbly, and with a more faithful spirit he comes backs to the fountain of all knowledge, and takes to his heart the great sacred precept,"on earth peace, good will toward men"namely knowledge has nothing to do with colour therefore we all are equal also in any kind of stuff here on earth...
