Film Night For Black History Month

  • Mountain Rain Zen Community 2016 Wall Street Vancouver, B.C. Canada (map)

The Diversity Equity Inclusion Accessibility and Engaged Buddhist Practice Committees invite you to a film night at Wall Street zendo, which will also be streamed online (see below for link).

First, we will screen two shorts about Hogan's alley, a neighbourhood where the largest black community in Vancouver lived. Like other black communities across Canada the area was demolished, displacing and dispersing the black community.   

We will also show 'Journey to Justice': This documentary pays tribute to a group of Canadians who took racism to court.  They are Canada's unsung heroes in the fight for Black civil rights. Focusing on the 1930s to the 1950s, this film documents the struggle of six people who refused to accept inequality.
