Define systemic racism. What barriers did the student protestors at Sir George Williams University face in Montreal during the 1960s? How did Ninth Floor challenge your notions of justice, civil rights and fair play in Canada? While Prof. Perry Anderson was suspended, he was never found guilty of charges of racism against Black students. What did this protest accomplish in the end? Address how director Mina Shum set up shots when interviewing the now much-older participants of the George Williams protests.
