Washington Black - What the Balloon Can't Show

The Caribbean and Nova Scotia stared in ledgers: rum, sugar, fish, lumber. Later they were in safe harbour, as Halifax opened doors to those leaving bondage.

Barbadians in Canada stepped into that story and wrote brand-new chapters: Austin Clarke's books, Cameron Bailey's curatorship, Anne Cools's bench-breaking firsts. The balloon in Washington Black indicates longing; the harbour indicate work-- of structure, inviting, and keeping faith with liberty.


See now and meet renowned Barbadian-Canadians who made a mark.
