Next-generation detectors scan the movement through the checkpoints between the five sectors of Xanadoom. Woe betide you if you try to pass carrying digital media with music files The Rock-Off Default System shoots a low-voltage burst, and the Anti-Rock Vigilante on the clock has just to pick you well-browned in blood, put you in a body bag and send you into some rehabilitation center from which you won't return. The internet is under full monitoring, too. Pirates who fight in the secret battles of the bands under the street level start playing again drums sets and electric guitars plugged into old valve amps. Why can't the old fuddy-duddies in power in Xanadoom wait to get themselves conquered by the inhabitants of Planet-X? Because in return for a bit of slavery, the Pinks will be able to impose the respect for the Doctrine of Passivity and Acquiescence. Too bad a heavy metal riff is all a Shockwave Rider needs to disintegrate the x-matter subatomic bonds. The threat has to be struck at the root, beginning with penny whistles, wind chimes, and carillons. Viola has a guitar and a car very distinctive: the Flying V belonged to Jimi Hendrix and a yellow flying Citro n Pallas. The missions to be accomplished are two: destroying the Pink horde and playing at the Slam Jam of the year with her new band: Supernova.

In 1946, Viola Desmond was wrongfully arrested for sitting in a whites-only section of a movie theatre in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. In 2010, the Nova Scotia Government recognized this gross miscarriage of justice and posthumously granted her a free pardon. Most Canadians are aware of Rosa Parks, who refused to give up her seat on a racially segregated bus in Alabama, but Viola Desmond s act of resistance occurred nine years earlier. However, many Canadians are still unaware of Desmond s story or that racial segregation existed throughout many parts of Canada during most of the twentieth century. On the subject of race, Canadians seem to exhibit a form of collective amnesia. Viola Desmond s Canada is a groundbreaking book that provides a concise overview of the narrative of the Black experience in Canada. Reynolds traces this narrative from slavery under French and British rule in the eighteenth century to the practice of racial segregation and the fight for racial equality in the twentieth century. Included are personal recollections by Wanda Robson, Viola Desmond s youngest sister, together with important but previously unpublished documents and other primary sources in the history of Blacks in Canada."

Climb aboard the bus and share Viola's best bad day to discover just how much difference a day can make For the very first time, Viola did not have a friend sharing the seat on the bus ride to school. Yesterday was filled with disappointments. Why did friends have to move away and why did her parents have to ask some mean old man permission to spend their own money? They were grown-ups, not children. When she grew up she would not ask anyone, if she wanted to take a trip she would just go. At least things couldn't get any worse. Well . . ? Viola finds out what a difference a day can make and that things are never as bad as they may seem.One day things are not looking so good for Viola, it's almost summer and her best friend has moved away. Hearing her mom and dad in the kitchen talking about money, the broken tractor, how Mr. Budget is cranky, and she may not get to go on vacation.The next day her lonely bus ride becomes a complete round-up. Arriving at school late things really get interesting and Viola's life will never be the same.Can Captain No-Sorrow save Viola's day and possibly her vacation?From Chapter 1: Viola was very grumpy as she crawled into bed, she didn't even ask to read a book she just wanted to go to sleep instead. In Montana when you can't sleep you count cattle you don't count sheep and this may sound really absurd by morning Viola had counted an entire herd
Finalist for the 2011 Norma Fleck Award for Canadian Children's Non-Fiction "On behalf of the Nova Scotia government, I sincerely apologize to Mrs. Viola Desmond’s family and to all African Nova Scotians for the racial discrimination she was subjected to by the justice system … We recognize today that the act for which Viola Desmond was arrested, was an act of courage, not an offence." -- Darrell Dexter, Premier of Nova Scotia, April 15, 2010 In Nova Scotia, in 1946, an usher in a movie theatre told Viola Desmond to move from her main floor seat up to the balcony. She refused to budge. Viola knew she was being asked to move because she was black. After all, she was the only black person downstairs. All the other black people were up in the balcony. In no time at all, the police arrived and took Viola to jail. The next day she was charged and fined, but she vowed to continue her struggle against such unfair rules. She refused to accept that being black meant she couldn't sit where she wanted. Viola's determination gave strength and inspiration to her community at the time. She is an unsung hero of the North American struggle against injustice and racial discrimination whose story deserves to be widely known. The African Canadian community in Nova Scotia is one of Canada's oldest and most established black communities. Despite their history and contributions to the province the people in this community have a long experience of racially based injustice. Like Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks, who many years later, in 1955, refused to give up their bus seats in Alabama, Desmond's act of refusal awakened people to the unacceptable nature of racism and began and process of bringing an end to racial segregation in Canada. An afterword provides a glimpse of African Canadian history.
Many Canadians know that Viola Desmond is the first Black, non-royal woman to be featured on Canadian currency. But fewer know the details of Viola Desmond's life and legacy. In 1946, Desmond was arrested for refusing to give up her seat in a whites-only section of a movie theatre in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. Her singular act of courage was a catalyst in the struggle for racial equality that eventually ended segregation in Nova Scotia.Authors Graham Reynolds and Wanda Robson (Viola's sister) look beyond the theatre incident and provide new insights into her life. They detail not only her act of courage in resisting the practice of racial segregation in Canada, but also her extraordinary achievement as a pioneer African Canadian businesswoman. In spite of the widespread racial barriers that existed in Canada during most of the twentieth century, Viola Desmond became the pre-eminent Black beauty culturist in Canada, establishing the first Black beauty studio in Halifax and the Desmond School of Beauty Culture. She also created her own line of beauty products.Accessible, concise and timely, this book tells the incredible, important story of Viola Desmond, considered by many to be Canada's Rosa Parks.

This is a book about my mother. But not just about her and her family, but about a period of time, a place, and a people wrapped in what one might identify as an Appalachian or Ozarkian rural culture as it developed in Central Missouri 20 years on both sides of World War II.In the classic "Tale of Two Cities," Charles Dickens' famous introduction serves well in this effort to present the life and times of my mother. Dickens depicted there and then (in 1859) as I do here - where and when Viola Pugh was born. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way . . ." The main source for this story is my memory, albeit, as you will discover as you read, I also consulted with old friends, family and neighbors. My mind draws funds from a memory bank of about 10 years - from my earliest recollections when I was probably three years old in 1949 to what I call the exodus of 1959 when reality set in that I would be moving from my boyhood home on Star Route, Sturgeon. That place, 90 acres of wonderful sensory pleasures - smells, sights, sounds, flavors and feeling - is where I was reared, and, like the flint and limestone rocks in my dad's disced and harrowed fields, forever marked and impacted
