À propos de cet audio
This week, Kate takes a look at the many instances of picnics in the early years of European settlement in Haliburton County. Plus, Paul has the story of the student's strike at Montreal's Aberdeen primary school 122 years ago in February 1913. The students were the children of poor Jewish immigarants attending a school staffed and administered by the Protestant school board. Religious, cultural, societal differences, and anti-Jewish discrimination resulted in the students walking out on a strike in protest. It was a very early example of students protesting for a social justice cause.
