Washington Black -
Washington's balloon is a reality and a metaphor; Halifax is material. The port when fed Caribbean plantations, but it likewise developed into a harbour of sanctuary for individuals taking their liberty along the Underground Railroad. Just down the coast, Africville reminds us that safe haven is a pledge we need to keep renewing. Barbados and Canada existed long previously Wash's thought of flight, and the meeting changed both: Barbadian migrants reinforced schools, healthcare facilities, and the arts. Oliver Jones and Joe Sealy scored our cities; Cameron Bailey reframed our screens; Anne Cools moved what leadership looks like. This teaser connects the sensation you understand to the history you may not.
See the clip-- then see the sources, context, and lived history.
