We are still buzzing from yesterday's visit of Dr. Barbara Lorenzkowski from Concordia's Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling, who gave a brilliant workshop on deep listening in oral history & a fascinating talk on her research on children's experience of wartime Atlantic Canada.

Our Advisory Board member @agentlazero.bsky.social reminds CBC NB that anti-colonial politics isn't just about reorganizing the deck chairs on the Titanic: it's the whole, continuing structure that has to be changed. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

While this was a landmark event, the presence of the large American slave ship you see in the painting’s foreground is a potent reminder that the campaign against the slave trade was far from over.

On January 15, 1792, 1196 Black Loyalists, including the notable leaders David George, Boston King, and Moses Wilkinson, left Halifax in 15 ships, for Sierra Leone.
