Viola Desmond was a Canadian businesswoman and civil rights activist. She is best known for her refusal to give up her seat in a whites-only section of a movie theater in 1946, which led to her arrest and conviction for tax evasion. Desmond's case became a landmark in the fight for racial equality in Canada and helped pave the way for the desegregation of public facilities.
