Washington Black - Barbados ↔ Halifax: Flight & Ground
Escape is just the first chapter. Halifax turns the page. The port that once provisioned sugar plantations relearned itself as a waypoint to freedom. The story of Africville-- its church, its elders, its erasure-- asks Canada to bear in mind totally. Within this arc, Barbadian migrants helped build a contemporary nation: literature that listened, festivals that broadened the frame, politics that consisted of the left out. Austin Clarke, Cameron Bailey, Anne Cools-- names that stand for many. The teaser raises us; the history lands us.
Press play, then check out how Barbados and Nova Scotia shaped each other.
