Move Over, Viola
Christopher Dainton, author
“Bell is committed to engaging Canadians in a conversation about racism and social injustice. It’s uncomfortable conversations that lead to action.”
-\tRandy Lennox, President, Bell Media
Trendy words today, but when a Black woman took maternity leave from the corporation that she spent eleven years working for, they refused to take her back. Discrimination, or employer discretion? Move over, Viola is a sardonic look back at her nine-year fight for justice against Bell Canada, culminating in a landmark 1987 case before a Canadian Human Rights Tribunal. Told from the duelling perspectives of a mother and her biracial son, the resulting conversations and reflections challenge the many contradictions of identity, race, and social justice.
