The last racially segregated school in Ontario didn’t close until 1965. Since then, a lot of things have changed—or have they?

This episode of the podcast Paradigm explores the history of racism in Ontario’s public school system and one student’s much-more recent experience with anti-Black racism at school. It all starts with one not-so-simple question: 'When was the first time you had a teacher who looked like you?'

Paradigm is a podcast about the surprising and personal experiences that shape the way we walk through the world. Each story is told by someone new with their unique perspective on the issue at hand, and sometimes with their own personal stake in the story. We all have our own stories. They might seem small. But they can have a big impact.
