A kid emerges– Barbados diminishing below, Halifax expanding ahead. Trade when connected these places; conscience did, too. Halifax became a safe harbour for those running from the American South, proof that geography can learn morality. Africville shows both the strength of Black neighbourhood and the costs of forgetting. Across years, Barbadian arrivals added rhythm and solve to Canadian life: Joe Sealy’s chords, Oliver Jones’s swing, Anne Cools’s trailblazing service, Cameron Bailey’s curatorial eye. The Atlantic bridge brings more than freight; it carries character.
Enjoy the teaser and find out about Africville and the Underground Railroad.
