 | Black Mother Black Daughter 1989 (PT 1 of 3) Black Mother Black Daughter explores the lives and experiences of black women in Nova Scotia, their contributions to the home, the church and the community and the strengths they passed on to their daughters. Some of the women appearing in the film are Edith Clayton, a basket maker; Pearleen Oliver, a historian; Dr. Marie Hamilton, an educator and community leader; and Daurene Lewis, a weaver and politician. Also appearing is the dynamic female a capella quartet Four the Moment. Nova Scotia in black context: People of African descent have been living in Nova Scotia for almost 300 years. In Acadia, from the early to mid 1700s, there were more than 300 people of African descent in the French settlement at Louisbourg, Cape Breton. In Halifax in 1751 there were 15 Black people. Between 100 and 150 people of African descent were among the new settlers, now known as the Planters, who came from New England after the British gained control over Nova Scotia in 1763. Over 3,000 Black people came as part of the Loyalist migration between 1783 and 1785. In 1796, 550 people, known as the Maroons, were deported from Jamaica to Nova Scotia. In 1800 they were relocated to Sierra Leone. Some 2000 escaped slaves came from the United States during the War of 1812, under conditions similar to those of the Black Loyalists. They had thrown in their lot with the British between 1812 and 1816 and were offered freedom and land in Nova Scotia. They moved into the Halifax area to settle at Preston, Hammonds Plains, Beechville, Porter's Lake, and the Lucasville Road, as well as the Windsor area. In the early 1900s Black immigrants were actively recruited from Barbados, West Indies to work in Cape Breton for the Dominion Coal Company. This community survives to the present day in Whitney Pier, Glace Bay and New Waterford. People of African descent continue to immigrate to Nova Scotia today.

 | Paying for the Past (REPARATIONS) pt 1 of 2 Reparations spark a debate in Canada, especially in Nova Scotia where some in the black community say it's time they were compensated for the generations of suffering slavery and racism: North Preston is a rural community in eastern Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, in Canada. The community borders its sister community East Preston. It is populated by almost 100% African Canadians. The community traces its origins to the immigration of former African American slaves and loyalists in the 18th century as well as black American refugees from the Chesapeake in the War of 1812. North Preston is also the oldest and largest indigenous Black community in Canada. It's the home of boxer Kirk Johnson Nova Scotia in black context: People of African descent have been living in Nova Scotia for almost 300 years.

 | Seven Shades Of Pale 1975 (PT 2 of 3) From a quiet, neglected corner of Nova Scotia, we have a meeting with the Black community that shows both the traditional attitudes of the older generation and the more alert, resolved stance of the young. The old still pin their hopes on the church and the preacher, while the young look more towards the Black United Front and its roving director. For both generations change is a challenge. The common hope is for a fuller life. Nova Scotia in black context: People of African descent have been living in Nova Scotia for almost 300 years.

 | Paying for the Past (REPARATIONS) pt 2 of 2 Reparations spark a debate in Canada, especially in Nova Scotia where some in the black community say it's time they were compensated for the generations of suffering slavery and racism: Africville was a black community within the city of Halifax, inhabited by approximately four hundred people, comprising eight families. The original Africville settlers were former residents of the refugee settlements at Preston and Hammond Plains who moved to Africville in order to escape the economic hardships encountered on rocky and barren land. The refuge settlements were made up of the many blacks that had come to Nova Soctia over several centuries. Local tradition of almost every interviewed resident of Africville believed that Africville had been founded by former slaves from the United States. In 1964, the city of Halifax began Africville's relocation. Although the relocation was said to be a humanitarian effort to alleviate the socio-economic depression in Africville, many claim the relocation plan had more to do with removing the eyesore Africville had come to be, rather than a genuine attempt to improve the lives of its residents.
