In this preface, Ashe gives an overview of grassroots activism and municipal reform efforts in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He explains how activists, including those from the African Nova Scotian community, used protests, public forums, and regional media to voice their grievances at the municipal government’s racist and classist policies in the late 1960s and 1970s.
