Washington Black and Rogues In Paradise - Balloon over Barbados, Landfall in Halifax

From Bridgetown's quays to Halifax's piers, ships when traded goods that sustained empire; later on, routes carried people toward freedom and work. The balloon scene catches the leap; Africville catches the life-- community stitched from gospel, labour, and neighbourly stubbornness. Out of the Barbadian diaspora came voices and visions that improved Canada: Austin Clarke writing migration's interior weather condition, Cameron Bailey promoting global movie, Anne Cools pressing for justice in public office. These are not footnotes-- they're the architecture of belonging.


See the teaser, then dive into the real Halifax-- Barbados connection.
