What if you were sent to war with a shovel and pickaxe, in lieu of a gun? In 1914, the world was at war. Thousands of Canadian men rushed to their local enlistment centres, eager to join the fight. But, when Black men went to enlist, they were turned away. It was 'a white man's war,' they were told. Canada didn't want a 'checkerboard army.' What followed is a story of rejection and resilience, and of service in the face of bigotry.Join us as we explore the remarkable history of No...MORE Host Cindy Charles

World War One is the watershed moment in modern history. The Western World before it was one of aristocrats, empires, colonies, and optimism for a future of unending progress.

But something was lost permanently in the Great War: a sense of optimism in mankind...MORE Hosts Scott Rank, James Early
