The Bank of Canada has unveiled a new $10 banknote with a pro-human rights message. Civil rights icon Viola Desmond, a black Nova-Scotian who challenged racial segregation in 1946 by refusing to vacate a "whites-only" area of a theater is featured on the front of the bill. The reverse side of the bill will feature an image of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, designed by Antoine Predock and completed in 2014.
