The C.O.W.S. w/ Dr. Afua Cooper: The Hanging of Angelique

Dr. Afua Cooper visits The Context of White Supremacy. The James Robinson Johnston Chair in Black Canadian Studies, Professor Cooper's research interests are African Canadian studies, with explicit focus on the period of enslavement and emancipation in 18th and 19th century Canada and the Black Atlantic. Additionally, she established the Black Canadian Studies Association (BCSA), which she currently chairs. We'll review her 2006 publication, The Hanging Of Angelique: Canada, Slavery And The Burning Of Montreal. Professor Cooper documents willfully buried history of slavery in Canada as well as the life of a black female slave who was tortured and killed for attempting to escape and burning down a number of Montreal buildings in the process. We'll relate these events to the current regime of White Supremacy in Canada. We'll also get her perspective on Black Lives Matter: Toronto as well as how Canadians have been affected by US presidential candidate Donald Trump and the recent Dallas, Texas shootings. #RacismIsNotAPrivilege INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
