This February marks the 25th anniversary of Black History Month, since then Liberal MP Jean Augustine led a motion to have it recognized. Writing in the Toronto Star recently, Minister Ahmed Hussen reflected on What Black History Month means in 2021. He joins Nate to discuss why he’s looking at that history through the lens of deeply troubling events, what action the government has taken to date to address racial equality, and what more needs to come. Minister Hussen is an accomplished lawyer and cabinet minister, he came to Canada with his family from Somalia as a refugee, and despite all of his accomplishments he's said he still gets followed around in stores and has spoken out against racial profiling.
