She refused to leave a whites-only area of the Roseland Theatre and was unjustly convicted of a minor tax violation used to enforce segregation. Desmond's case is one of the most publicized incidents of racial discrimination in Canadian history and helped start the modern civil rights movement in Canada. Desmond acted nine years before the famed incident by civil-rights activist Rosa Parks, with whom Desmond is often compared.〔 Desmond was granted a posthumous pardon, the first to be granted in Canada. The government of Nova Scotia also apologized for convicting her for tax evasion and acknowledged she was rightfully resisting racial discrimination. ==Biography== Viola Desmond (née Davis) was born on July 6, 1914, one of fifteen children born to James Albert and Gwendolin Irene (née Johnson) Davis. Viola grew up with parents who were active in the Black community in Halifax, and were prominent members of various social circles and organizations. Growing up Desmond noted the absence of professional hair- and skin-care products for Black women and set her sights on addressing the need.〔 Being of African descent, Viola Desmond was not allowed to train to become a beautician in Halifax, so she left and received beautician training in Montreal, Atlantic City, and one of Madame C.J. Walker's beauty schools in New York. Upon finishing her training, Viola Desmond returned to Halifax to start her own hair salon. Her clients included Portia White and a young Gwen Jenkins, later the first black nurse in Nova Scotia. In addition to the salon, Desmond set up The Desmond School of Beauty Culture so that Black women would not have to travel as far as she did to receive proper training. Catering to women from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Quebec, the school operated using a vertical integration framework.〔 Students were provided with the skills required to open their own businesses and provide jobs for other Black women within their communities. Each year as many as fifteen women graduated from the school, all of whom had been denied admission to whites-only training schools.〔 Desmond also started her own line of beauty products, ''Vi's Beauty Products'' which she marketed and sold herself.〔(Viola Desmond ) in The Canadian Encyclopedia〕〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Viola Desmond」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
