#OnThisDay, 6 Jan 1971, the Militant Mothers of Raymur, 25 women from the Raymur Place housing project in Vancouver, blockaded railway tracks to get a pedestrian overpass installed. 400 children from the housing project had to cross the tracks - while trains were running - to get to and from school.
The bridge was built and is now named after the women.
