Viola Desmond was born in Halifax in 1914. Following in the footsteps of her hard-working parents, she became an independent businesswoman. She opened the Desmond School of Beauty Culture which gave training opportunities to Black Women to help them confidently open their own business. Viola is also known for the most public racialized case in Canada. In 1946, she was forcibly removed from a theatre for sitting in the "Whites Only" section. Viola was arrested and jailed. In 2010, the government issued an official apology to the late Viola Desmond for being wrongfully jailed and fined. In 2018 Viola Desmond was selected by the minister of Finance to appear on the Canadian 10-dollar bill. (Toronto Public Library)

Willie O'Ree was born in Frederiction in 1935. He was the youngest of 13 children. His grandparents came to Canada through the Underground Railroad to escape slavery in the United States. When he was growing up there were only two other Black families in Frederiction. From an early age, Willie loved playing hockey and became involved in organized sport. As he grew older the "colour barrier' was becoming more noticeable to him. He later moved to Quebec and then Ontario to play. When playing for the Kitchener Canucks, he was badly injured by a pick that hit his eye. Despite suffering 95% vision loss, Willie was determined to play for the NHL. He kept his injury secret because NHL rule states that players who are blind in one eye cannot play. In 1958, Willie became the first Black hockey player to play a game in the NHL. Despite experiences of racism, Willie continued to play and later became NHL's Director of Youth as well as an ambassador for NHL Diversity. Willie O'Ree was recognized for his dedication and skill with the Order of New Brunswick and the Order of Canada. In 2018 he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. (Toronto Public Library)
