Dixon had heard about his grandfather George Dixon, one of six hundred men who served in the only Black battalion in Canadian history — the No. 2 Construction Battalion of the First World War. Sadly, his knowledge about George’s war experiences stopped there. In fact, much of his life remained a mystery. It has been left to Lance’s father, Blair Dixon (also a veteran), to tell their story while reliving the shame they were taught to feel about being Black bodies in “a white man’s world.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n In \u003ci\u003eA Footnote to Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e, through intimate conversations with his father, Dixon grapples with the effects of racism across three generations. He also brings to light the painful irony of the Black battalion’s struggle: that these men had to fight their own country to fight for the freedom of others in a distant land. This is the tale of his grandfather’s redemption and the legacy he leaves behind.","brand":"Lance B.
