Fiction raises us skyward; history asks what happens when our feet touch ground. Halifax's shift-- from provider to the sugar islands to sanctuary for the hunted-- is evidence that locations can alter their purpose. Africville, born of exemption and rich in community, remains a compass. Into this space came Barbadian migration: ward nurses and schoolteachers, writers and pianists, public servants and professional athletes. Oliver Jones, Joe Sealy, Cameron Bailey, Anne Cools, Andre De Grasse-- each a waypoint on a longer journey to belonging.
Enjoy the clip-- then see the sources, context, and lived history.
