Listen to my one-hour interview with host Nahlah Ayed.
From the CBC Ideas web page:
When investigative journalist Julian Sher was studying Canadian history at McGill University in Montreal, he found a plaque at the Hudson Bay flagship building that surprised him. The plaque honoured Jefferson Davis, the only president of the Confederate States of America from 1861 to 1865, when nearly 4 million people were enslaved.
"I remember thinking two things. Why is there a plaque to the leader of the slave South in my city? And what's it still doing here?" Sher told IDEAS host Nahlah Ayed as they toured Montreal streets together.
