*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
This classic, which tells the story of Africville and the community’s resilience in the face of government neglect and racism, has been in print since 1992. This third edition brings the story to the present. It features a new introduction from Africville Museum executive director Juanita Peters and a new chapter from award-winning writer Gloria Wesley.
Gloria Wesley’s new chapter covers the reconstruction and reopening of Seaview Baptist Church, the ongoing story of the class-action lawsuit against the Halifax Regional Municipality, and the work being done by the community to make Africville Lookout Park a vibrant and accessible space for former Africvillians and the wider public.
With a full collection of photos of Africville and its residents, this book offers insight into the City of Halifax’s notorious destruction of this Black community, the impact on residents and later generations, and the solidarity and resistance this story represents today.
