Fiction lifts us skyward; history asks what occurs when our feet touch ground. Halifax's shift-- from supplier to the sugar islands to haven for the hunted-- is proof that places can change their purpose. Africville, born of exclusion and abundant in community, is a compass. Into this space came Barbadian migration: ward nurses and teachers, authors 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.
Hit play to see how fiction meets truth across the Atlantic.
