>During protests across North America in the spring and summer of 2020, in the wake of the death of George Floyd in Minnesota, some 2,000 residents of Thunder Bay, Ont., were out in full force in one June rally, carrying signs and chanting "Black Lives Matter."
The northwestern Ontario city, itself, has faced allegations of racism in its police force and institutions, largely related to the treatment of Indigenous people. But there have also been rallying cries in support of Black people in Thunder Bay.
As part of Black History Month, CBC News spoke with these four people from Thunder Bay's Black community about their experiences, what if anything has changed since the Black Lives Matter protests, and what more can be done to promote inclusivity.<
