Summary:  "Called by Graham Reynolds 'one of the most important civil rights crusaders of her generation,' Pearleen Oliver spoke out in powerful, dignified protest -- and she brought about change. She pushed open the doors that blocked Black girls from nurses’ training. She kicked Little Black Sambo out of Nova Scotia’s public schools. She was the spokesperson for Viola Desmond’s appeal and with her in the courtroom. Dr. Oliver was a founder of the Nova Scotia Association for the Advancement of Coloured People, the Black United Front, and the Black Cultural Centre. She was the first woman moderator of the African United Baptist Church and a Chaitelaine Woman of the Year. An historian with two honorary degrees, she mentored hundreds of young girls and founded the AUBA Women’s Institute."--Breton Books.
