The racial inequality conversation in Sask. is not new. The fact that hundreds of people rallied yesterday in #yqr for #blacklivesmater is anchored in a long tradition. It echoes a century long conversation in the province. History is important to bear in mind #skpoli #canpoli
3/ Not posting the picture of the KKK cross burning because it can be triggering. But, important to note that at one point Saskatchewan had upwards of 25 thousands KKK members, the highest number in Canada. The KKK settled in 1926 and gained momentum by 1927. #skpoli #canpoli
