North of the Canada—U.S. border, conditions, attitudes, and behaviors toward Blacks practiced during the time of slavery have continued sometimes in crude displays of racism, sometimes in more subtle forms. No Black is exempt—male or female, adult or child. Advocacy is unavoidable; proactive interventions are necessary. This exposé deals with the little-known story of Black women challenging the Canadian system in an ongoing bid for quality life for themselves and their families. This valiant, ongoing encounter can only result in some modifications favorable to an improved quality of life for Canadian Blacks. In essence, Harambec opens a window on Black women organizing in Quebec under the aegis of the Congress of Black Women of Canada—a vibrant national organization intent on changing behaviors, perceptions, policies, and practice across the Canadian social, political, and economic landscape
