On March 21st 2021 - International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination - the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives - BC Office and the Pacific Canada Heritage Centre - Museum of Migration Society co-hosted the launch of Challenging Racist "British Columbia": 150 Years and Counting.

All seven authors – Nicholas XEMŦOLTW̱ Claxton, Denise Fong, Fran Morrison, Christine O’Bonsawin, Maryka Omatsu, John Price and Sharanjit Kaur Sandhra – and the illustrator John Endo Greenaway were present to share how they hoped the illustrated resource will be used by educators and activists interested in doing anti-racist work. The discussion was moderated by PCHC Director, Dr. Carol Liao. This free and open access publication examines the historical thread of racism and how it connects to the racism that is ongoing. Individuals, educators, and policymakers can use this to amplify the diversity of voices and experiences in our movement and pathway forward. This book will be further developed into an interactive online resource.
