Rosemary Brown is a Politician, feminist that is born in Jamaica but she grew up on the tropical island. Rosemary Brown is remembered for her empowering speeches that inspired all who listened, but even more so for her contribution to Canadian politics, feminism, human rights, and international development. Rosemary Brown was a social worker before becoming the first black women elected to a Canadian legislature in 1972. She went to Canada in 1950 to study about racism at McGill University. Rosemary Brown went to Vancouver in the mid- 1955 because racism was apparent there. She also went to Vancouver to marry Bill Brown and she supported him while he finished his medical degree. Saying in a part “... to be Black and female in a society which is both racist and sexist is to be in the unique position of having nowhere to go but up!”



White people didn't think racism was a big deal, people that had a different skin colour they didn't take sexism a major issue, she proved that racism and sexism and lots of other things are horrible. In 1993 she was named to the Canadian Security Intelligence Review Committee for a five-year term. Rosemary Brown is the Chief Commissioner of the Ontario Human Rights Commission. She served as the organization's Special Ambassador and then President. Rosemary Brown served in the legislature from 1972 to 1986.

Hi Mariam,

It's very easy to add a picture to your posts. You need to save the picture to your computer first. Then, when you are writing your post, click on the little image of a picture (if you hold your mouse over it for a moment, you will see that a window pops up that says "add a picture"). A window will open for you to add your picture, select one by browsing your computer and then click "Add". It's super simple. If that doesn't help, come see me tomorrow!
