To honour Black History month, we will be highlighting resources each Friday in February that are available for continued learning! This week, we hope you'll learn about the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Watch

The documentary, 13th, was generously uploaded in its entirety to YouTube by Netflix.

Combining archival footage with testimony from activists and scholars, director Ava DuVernay's examination of the U.S. prison system looks at how the country's history of racial inequality drives the high rate of incarceration in America. This piercing, Oscar-nominated film won Best Documentary at the Emmys, the BAFTAs and the NAACP Image Awards.
