Influential Moments That Effect My Identity

History has influenced all of our identities one way or another, either because of the sacrifices made from the past or the sparks of realization that a difference must be made for the future. Those moments have allowed us to be who we are without the fear of being discriminated against. In Canadian History, there have been many influential moments, but what has personally affected my identity was the Gay liberation during the 1970s and the Anti-Asian riots in 1907.
