 | Speak It! From the Heart of Black Nova Scotia 1992 (PT 1 of 3) In the environment of their predominantly white high school, a group of Black students face daily reminders of the presence of racism, ranging from abuse (racist graffiti on washroom walls), to exclusion (the seemingly "innocent" omission of Black history from texts). They work to establish a Cultural Awareness Youth Group, a vehicle for building pride and self-esteem through educational and cultural programs. With help from mentors, they discover the richness of their heritage and learn some of the ways they can begin to affect change. Shot on location in Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada). Nova Scotia in black context: People of African descent have been living in Nova Scotia for almost 300 years. In Acadia, from the early to mid 1700s, there were more than 300 people of African descent in the French settlement at Louisbourg, Cape Breton. In Halifax in 1751 there were 15 Black people. Between 100 and 150 people of African descent were among the new settlers, now known as the Planters, who came from New England after the British gained control over Nova Scotia in 1763. Over 3,000 Black people came as part of the Loyalist migration between 1783 and 1785. In 1796, 550 people, known as the Maroons, were deported from Jamaica to Nova Scotia. In 1800 they were relocated to Sierra Leone. Some 2000 escaped slaves came from the United States during the War of 1812, under conditions similar to those of the Black Loyalists. They had thrown in their lot with the British between 1812 and 1816 and were offered freedom and land in Nova Scotia. They moved into the Halifax area to settle at Preston, Hammonds Plains, Beechville, Porter's Lake, and the Lucasville Road, as well as the Windsor area. In the early 1900s Black immigrants were actively recruited from Barbados, West Indies to work in Cape Breton for the Dominion Coal Company. This community survives to the present day in Whitney Pier, Glace Bay and New Waterford. People of African descent continue to immigrate to Nova Scotia today.

 | a river in kejimkujik national park nova scotia canada a river in kejimkujik national park and historic site of canada. well, this might not look like proof that the world is older than 6000 years. but if you go to kejimkujik national park, and yes, that is how you spell kejimkujik. i looked 6 times. i wanted to spell it kejimikujik. i think some people say it that way. but let us get to the geography lesson. there is rock, a large amount of it, in nova scotia that is out of africa. not imported but dragged over the ocean at about a half an inch a year since nova scotia and the rest of the continents sperated from africa. mind blowing. it is. something like that would take millions of years. how long with in a few hundred thousand you will likely find at some site on the web. africa rock in nova scotia. now that is serious geological history. and i ain't making it up. the planet is billions of years old. and it is a beautiful place and we should not poison it. |
