MIKE ADLER Edges of Toronto you see places of worship and private schools. Industrial buildings remain relatively cheap, but in 2013, the city closed that door with a new bylaw. The discrimination Sakinah’s imam, Said Rageah, was talking about is economic. He’s arguing the city knows faith groups like his can’t triple their budget to get buildings with commercial zoning. "By banning our places of worship and schools you are telling us to live elsewhere. We will not," he says in a letter to
Tory. "This will not end. This is a human rights issue." Sakinah established itself around the time the bylaw took effect, and disagrees with city officials about what happened. Its leadership may have made a big mistake, but after renovating the building, it must fight for it. In the inner suburbs, Sakinah’s choices aren’t unique, and this problem will worsen as more faith groups come into conflict with the city. Tory says the city will work with the Toronto Real Estate Board "to ensure that other religious groups are informed of where they can legally operate." But reminding real estate agents of their professional standards is not the same as solving the problem. A city which welcomes diversity and protects religious groups must do more for them besides explaining they now need to find much more expensive properties to call home.
"Black History Month is, frankly, Canadian History Month and it’s important we know the compelling facts of our heritage." l MORE

When Toronto City Hall’s rotunda filled up last week with the supporters of a Scarborough mosque, people who were watching shrugged. The protest was meant to disrupt a city council meeting, but didn’t. Mayor John Tory was away. The leader of Sakinah Community Centre spoke to some reporters, saying the mayor and city were trying to drive Muslims out of Toronto. Soon enough, everyone went home. But that won’t be the end of it. Just as homes in the city are becoming more unaffordable for families, faith groups, especially those supported by newcomers, are feeling squeezed out too. What brought Sakinah supporters downtown was desperation. The city shut their mosque and school down a year ago, officially for safety reasons, but also because Sakinah occupies an industrial building. Drive around industrial areas in Toronto’s inner suburbs, and
charged and eventually convicted with defrauding the government of one cent - the tax difference between the balcony and main floor seat. Her challenge of the tax evasion charge brought national and international attention and raised awareness of racial segregation in Canada. Desmond was posthumously pardoned in 2010 and next year, she will be the first African-Canadian and first woman, aside from the Queen, to appear on a Canadian bank note.Others led with their entrepreneurial spirit. Carrie Best was the first AfricanCanadian to own and publish a newspaper. Elijah McCoy invented and patented a type of lubricating cup that dripped oil onto moving parts of a train while in motion. He also invented and patented the first portable ironing board at his wife’s request. African-Canadians have roots which date back to the 1600s. They were soldiers, farmers, writers, newspaper publishers, activists, engineers, athletes, politicians and performers. It’s our wish that future generations will know the history of African-Canadians just as well as any other group or historical event in our country’s timeline. Let’s educate ourselves about the contributions African-Canadians have made to our society - for the better.

FAITH GROUPS FEELING UNWELCOME
Toronto was the first municipality in Canada to proclaim February as Black History Month; a month dedicated to commemorating the contributions of AfricanCanadians to our culture and community. That was 38 years ago.It was because of the diligent pressure and persistence of the Ontario Black History Society which succeeded in having the city formally recognize the month - and now it’s proclaimed right across the country.Black History Month is, frankly, Canadian History Month and it’s important we know the compelling facts of our heritage. African-Canadians have struggled for equal opportunity and freedom from discrimination for far too many years. It began with the anti-slavery movement and evolved into the fight for basic civil and human rights. African-Canadian leaders of that time led with courage and determination. They include people like Viola Davis Desmond, a Halifax-born business woman. It was 1946 when she went to the movies in New Glasgow, N.S. while her vehicle was being repaired. She bought a ticket and sat on the main floor - not realizing this theatre had segregated seating. She refused to leave when staff demanded she go to the balcony. She was dragged out by police and spent the night in jail. She was fined $20 and

Black History Month helps fill in the gaps
History still perceived through ’Eurocentric lens’ FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Growing up, Neysa Pryce recalls learning about European and Canadian history in school, while attempts at preserving and celebrating black history were "futile." "All I took away from those lessons involved Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad (which are undoubtedly important), but little did I know there was so much more that wasn’t being told," the Toronto
resident, who is of Trinidadian and Jamaican descent, said in an email. "I enjoyed learning about all kinds of history as a kid. But it would have been much more inspiring to learn about black cultural heritage as well." This year marks 21 years Black History Month has officially been recognized in Canada, though it has been unofficially recognized for many more. Throughout the month of February, Black History Month will l See A page 11

of Canadian history where all people are a part of it," he said. Righting the wrong could start with revising the way Canadian history is taught in the classroom, James said. "We could look at school programs, we could look at cultural celebrations," he said. "When all these people are included in the main Canadian narrative, to me that’s the first step. Until that happens, programs like Black History Month are needed as supplementary programs to address what’s missing. Look at Viola Desmond. A number of Canadians didn’t know about her existence. They had never heard of her. It’s an indication of the value of Black History Month."
Now in its fifth year, the festival – one of many Black History Month events – will showcase 40 films from 20 countries Wednesday, Feb. 15 to Sunday, Feb. 19. Founded by the Fabienne Colas Foundation, the festival was created in 2013 as a not-for-profit, professional, artistic organization dedicated to promoting cinema, arts and culture in Canada and abroad. According to its website, “in connecting black films with viewers of all colours and ethnic origins, we recognize the differences that make us unique and celebrate the shared values that bring us together. Coming together through art allows members of all cultural communities to better understand one another.” Opening film Tell Them We Are Rising: The Story of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, by Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Stanley Nelson, will be shown Feb. 15 at Isabel Bader Theatre, 93 Charles St., at 7:30 p.m. The Fabienne Colas Foundation has also created the Montreal International Black Film Festival; Haiti en Folie in Montreal; Fade to Black Festival; Dansomania — Dances from around the World; and the Québécois Film Festival in Haiti.

be celebrated through discussions and presentations highlighting significant contributions made by black people. And though it’s been more than two decades since their stories have been officially told, Pryce feels a lot has yet to be revealed, making Black History Month all the more important. "I think we still have a long way to go," she said. "In many ways we still live in a society that idealizes nonethnic peoples and perceives or views things through a Eurocentric lens." Not only is learning about black history important from an educational standpoint, but also for youth beyond the classroom, Pryce said. "This is crucial for positive role-modelling and developing strong self-identities and hopefully more well-rounded, educated, and confident black youth who feel they, too, have something of value to contribute to society," she said. "All people need to learn to associate positivity and optimism with black culture that involves the contributions of black people to the arts, sciAbove, local author Jessica ence, technology, religion and Alex reads to Grade 5 philosophy.
