The Rogue in Washinton Black - Harbour Lights on a Winter Morning
The balloon in Washington Black drifts beyond plantation smoke towards the grey-blue Atlantic and Halifax. That city's story bends from commerce to conscience-- ships once fed the Caribbean mills; later on, Halifax welcomed those getting away slavery. Africville stands as both wound and witness, a Black community whose spirit outlived its demolition. Into this geography stepped Barbadian migrants: nurses, teachers, musicians, and writers who made Canada larger than it understood-- Oliver Jones and Joe Sealy at the keys, Cameron Bailey on the festival phase, Anne Cools in the Senate. Fiction compresses to brighten; nonfiction expands to keep in mind. Together they expose how Barbados and Nova Scotia formed each other across centuries.
See now and explore the history behind the escape.
