Cornwall, Ont., Mayor Bernadette Clement remembers when her sister was called "Aunt Jemima" in high school. Annissa and Beth, and a team of dedicated volunteers, organized a beautiful and peaceful Black Lives Matter march in Cornwall. Since being elected Cornwall's mayor in 2018, Clement said she's felt a responsibility to help create change for Black people, especially Black women. Clement was elected as Cornwall's mayor in 2018 after previously serving as a city councillor. "I feel pressure to be the perfect mayor, which I know, that's not possible."
