Viola Desmond


I chose Viola Desmond for my black history month because she was an awesome businesswoman, should attended a lot of movies, and on November 8,1946 she went to a movie at Rosalind theater in New Glasgow.



She was arrested because she sat downstairs in the theaters when she is only aloud to sit upstairs because that was the rule back than,that was were black people were supposed to sit down.She was put in jail for 12 hours and than she got out.



Than she had to pay a fine for 20 dollars.And that is all I have about Viola Desmond.

Hi Mariam,

Things are looking great over here! Well done.

Thanks for your question on my blog. For Assignment #7, you need to read at least two profiles from each of the five categories (read more if you wish). You then need to select one to write about.

Let me know if you need any more help!
