Washington Black and Rogues In Paradise - Harbour Lights on a Winter Morning

Imagine Wash's balloon settling over a winter season harbour. Halifax is not a mishap; it rests on paths that once moved salt fish and lumber south, then moved freedom candidates north. In the hum of that city, Africville rose-- a home built versus the chances, later taken down, always remembered. From the Barbadian wave came artists and leaders who changed the nationwide tone: Joe Sealy and Oliver Jones in jazz, Cameron Bailey in film, Anne Cools in lawmaking. In between flight and foundation, the Atlantic carried more than trade; it carried tomorrow.
