Viola Desmond did not die as a direct result of her activism; she passed away on February 7, 1965, from complications related to a diagnosis of cancer. She is best known for her refusal to leave a whites-only section of a movie theater in Nova Scotia in 1946, an act of protest against racial segregation. Her legacy as a civil rights pioneer continues to be celebrated in Canada.
