Washington Black and Rogues In Paradise - Balloon over Barbados, Landfall in Halifax
Escape is only the first chapter. Halifax turns the page. The port that once provisioned sugar plantations relearned itself as a waypoint to liberty. The story of Africville-- its church, its senior citizens, its erasure-- asks Canada to remember completely. Within this arc, Barbadian migrants helped develop a modern-day country: literature that listened, celebrations that broadened the frame, politics that consisted of the excluded. Austin Clarke, Cameron Bailey, Anne Cools-- names that mean many. The teaser raises us; the history lands us.
Watch the teaser, then dive into the real Halifax-- Barbados connection.
