Interview: Jully Black on the Canadian Anthem, Truth & Reconciliation, The Internal/External "Negotiation" of

Jully Black sits down with Jamar McNeil a few days after singing the Canadian National Anthem at the NBA All Star Game, and discusses her decision to change one word in the Anthem.

Jully tells Jamar about how she struggled to stand behind the anthem after droves of Indigenous children's bodies were found near Residential School sites, and how the generational trauma of the Indigenous experience is not one that she has as a Black Canadian, but one that she empathizes with.

Jully talks about her journey through taking action with Truth & Reconciliation, and walks us through what she was feeling all the way through the Anthem Soundcheck.

Jully and Jamar talk about the empathy they feel for the Indigenous community, and why Jully took the stand she took.

Jully and Jamar talk about the solidarity and bridge building between Black, Indigenous, and all people of colour in Canada.
