In this episode, you will see that we are not in our usual setting. We had the opportunity to visit Halifax over Emancipation Day (August 1st) weekend, and we wanted to take the opportunity to shed light on the experience of the community who once lived in Africville.
In this special episode, we sat down with Eddy Carvery I, who is the longest standing Africvillian activist, accompanied by his grandson Eddy Carvery III. Eddy has lived on the land of Africville since birth, and even with the demolishment of the community in 1964, he still remains on the land of his ancestors. In this conversation, Eddy highlights his experience in Africville and the racism that led to the city of Halifax's decision to demolish and relocate the once established Black community.
We want to give a special thank you to Eddy Carvery I and Eddy Carvery III for choosing to sit with us, and speak truth of the community's pain. Our intention was to bring more awareness on this community, and find ways to repair the damages that have been done by the city of Halifax. You can further support Eddy Carvery I by donating to his go-fundme account listed below.
Please take the time to also listen to the Africville Forever Podcast for more insight about the community.
