Kevin Weekes on racial inequality and the importance of immigrants
Apr. 17, 2024 – 31:43 – Kevin Weekes and his family come from Barbados, a place he calls 166 square miles of paradise. Education is critical there, he says, and the country has an almost 100% literacy rate. In Barbados, he came from a place of acceptance, and he saw similar acceptance among his multicultural friends in Canada. Everyone wants to come to North America for a better life, he says, and Canada and the United States were built on the backs of people who emigrated there.
