Washington Black - Balloon over Barbados, Landfall in Halifax
The Caribbean and Nova Scotia stared in journals: rum, sugar, fish, wood. Later on they existed in safety, as Halifax opened doors to those leaving bondage. Africville holds the memory-- resilience, music, Sunday finest-- alongside a demand to do better. Barbadians in Canada stepped into that story and wrote 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 indicate work-- of structure, welcoming, and keeping faith with flexibility.
Enjoy now and fulfill iconic Barbadian-Canadians who made a mark.
