This tribute video reflects on the powerful legacy of Henderson Paris and the lasting impact of the Run Against Racism, a movement that helped shape a stronger, more inclusive community in New Glasgow and across Pictou County. Founded in 1990, the run was created in response to a racial incident experienced by one of Henderson’s sons and quickly became a unifying force for change, bringing together communities, schools, and thousands of participants in a shared commitment to respect, equality, and inclusion. Over two decades, and through the continued spirit of events that followed, Henderson’s leadership inspired meaningful dialogue, empowered youth, and strengthened connections across cultures and communities. His message, rooted in the belief that together we can make a difference, continues to resonate today, reminding us of the importance of standing against racism and working collectively toward a more just, respectful, and equitable future for all.

The Town of New Glasgow is proud to present this tribute video, produced by RavenMedia.
