New!
From: The Spirit of Africville
$2.20
In this chapter, Donald Clairmont describes how the City of Halifax forcibly displaced the residents of Africville in the name of urban renewal. Clairmont explains how the city used bureaucratic hurdles that harmed families, and how the legacy of Africville has ultimately been elevated into a lasting symbol of Black civil rights activism in Canada.
