The African Nova Scotian Justice Institute was launched a year ago. But this week, the provincial government made a commitment of $4.8-million in funding for the next three years to address over-representation and anti-Black racism in the justice system. There will be eight-justice related support, research and outreach programs that will be fully staffed and offering services within a year. Robert Wright is a Halifax-based social worker. He's also a member of the group that will be leading the program, the African Nova Scotian Decade for People of African Descent Coalition.
