Olivet Students meet Author Jody Nyasha Warner

The grades 2 to 4 went to the Eatonville library to meet Jody Nyasha Warner, the author who wrote the book “Viola Desmond Won’t be Budged”. This is a very interesting book about a piece of Canadian history which took place in Nova Scotia in 1946, when a woman by the name of Viola Desmond was told she could not sit in the front seat section of the theatre because only white people could sit there. This was not fair, and Viola Desmond fought to have this injustice changed. We asked Ms. Warner to sign our school copy of her book and soon it will be in the library for everyone to read!!
