Washington Black and Rogues In Paradise - 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 flexibility. The story of Africville-- its church, its senior citizens, its erasure-- asks Canada to bear in mind completely. Within this arc, Barbadian migrants helped build a modern-day nation: literature that listened, celebrations that widened the frame, politics that included the excluded. Austin Clarke, Cameron Bailey, Anne Cools-- names that represent numerous. The teaser lifts us; the history lands us.
