Washington Black and Rogues In Paradise - From Cane Fields to Cold Harbour
The Caribbean and Nova Scotia were in ledgers: rum, sugar, fish, lumber. Later on they existed in safe harbour, as Halifax opened doors to those escaping bondage. Africville holds the memory-- resilience, music, Sunday best-- along with a demand to do much better. Barbadians in Canada entered that story and wrote brand-new chapters: Austin Clarke's books, Cameron Bailey's curatorship, Anne Cools's bench-breaking firsts. The balloon in Washington Black points to yearning; the harbour points to work-- of building, inviting, and keeping faith with freedom. View the teaser, then explore the Halifax-- Barbados ties.
