Racism and the Black World Response Symposium FOREWORD INTRODUCTION AND CONTEXT The James Robinson Johnston Chair in Black Canadian Studies1, "established to bring Black culture, reality, perspectives, experiences and con- cerns into the Academy", came together in partnership and collaboration with a coalition of local, national, regional organizations, to convene an international symposium that would specifically address the needs of People of African Descent scattered throughout the Diaspora. The theme of this unprecedented gathering, Racism and the Black World Response, is topical and timely since the Symposium both commemorates the United Nations’ Third Decade Against Racism, (1993-2003), and takes place during the UN International Year of Mobilization Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance. IMPORTANCE OF NOVA SCOTIA Community Empowerment, Capacity-Building, and Collective Strategizing, grounded in the history and reality of this "cradle of Black set- tlement in Canada", are the primary goals that inform this unprecedented Canadian initiative2.

    Cultural Assets of NovA scotiA African Nova scotian tourism Guide 2 Come visit the birthplace of Canada’s Black community. Situated on the east coast of this beautiful country, Nova Scotia is home to approximately 20,000 residents of African descent. Our presence in this province traces back to the 1600s, and we were recorded as being present in the provincial capital during its founding in 1749. Come walk the lands that were settled by African Americans who came to the Maritimes—as enslaved labour for the New England Planters in the 1760s, Black Loyalists between 1782 and 1784, Jamaican Maroons who were exiled from their home lands in 1796, Black refugees of the War of 1812, and Caribbean immigrants to Cape Breton in the 1890s. The descendants of these groups are recognized as the indigenous African Nova Scotian population. We came to this land as enslaved and free persons: labourers, sailors, farmers, merchants, skilled craftspersons, weavers, coopers, basket-makers, and more. We brought with us the remnants of our cultural identities as we put down roots in our new home and over time, we forged the two together and created our own unique cultural identity. Today, some 300 years later, there are festivals and gatherings throughout the year that acknowledge and celebrate the vibrant, rich African Nova Scotian culture. We will always be here, remembering and honouring the past, living in the present, and looking towards the future. 1 table of contents Halifax Metro region 6 SoutH SHore and YarMoutH & acadian SHoreS regionS 20 BaY of fundY & annapoliS ValleY region 29 nortHuMBerland SHore region 40 eaStern SHore region 46 cape Breton iSland region 50 See page 64 for detailed map.

Many survivors of abuse may not have experienced sexual slavery, but they know what it’s like to be prisoners in dysfunctional families or relationships.

Harris: No. I was born at Alexandria, Virginia. Q: And how long were you in Alexandria? Harris: I think I was brought here when I was very, very young. In fact, I can’t remember anything about it that much, you know. Q: So you started your music training here in Baltimore? Harris: Oh yes. Q: Who was your first teacher? Harris: Oh, on the violin my first teacher was Lucien Odendh’al. In fact, I was introduced to him by a teacher up at Douglass High School, the music teacher. Q: Is that Mr. [W. Llewellyn] Wilson? Harris: Mr. Wilson, yes. Way back there. It’s been a good little while. Names evade me a little bit now, but I’m doing pretty well. Q: I think so. Mr. Wilson I think taught everybody who is anybody. Harris: That’s right. In the music field, yes. He was very, very, very good. He started me off, and I worked with him for a year, a year and a half, and he said, I can’t go any further with you. I will have to get a teacher. And so he got in touch with Lucien Odendh’al, and he started to teach me. And he was a very nice man to go to. Q: How did you and the bass get to be a pair? Harris: Well, in high school, in those days, they didn’t have too many musicians that played the bass and what not.
  • The Immortal Actuary

    The Immortal Actuary

    THE IMMORTAL ACTUARY by Friday, December 13, 2165 Stacy Kunz hated the subway—a terrible juxtaposition of clean modernism and filthy dilapidation. She hated the LED lights that filled the walls and ceilings of the car, running ads nonstop. The city was quick to fix even a single diode that burned out, but yet slow to fix any of the crumbling infrastructure the cars ran on. At any turn on the centuries-old tracks, it seemed the train could tip over or fall off its rails. And then there were the people themselves—all broken. The world was broken. The modernist look promised a bright future, that everything would be all right, but it was all a lie. What was there to look forward to? Resources were running dry. Everything was becoming more and more expensive. World population was declining, and sicknesses ran rampant. If anything, the past proved that no one could rely on technology. A. I. turned out to be nothing. Forget the singularity; it never happened. Neural networks were cool and could outperform humans on specific tasks, but never delivered what really mattered. They certainly didn’t stop humans from destroying themselves slowly. At least I have a job. Stacy held on to the top rail as she stood inside the crowded car. She was a student actuary at Manhattan Mutual. My job sucks, but I’m surviving. Her only hope was to work her way to the top, else she’d be on the streets. Her thick coat was still zipped up, as she wasn’t yet warmed up from the bitter cold.
