Film Screening: Remembering Africville
Tuesday, November 1 - 7 p.m.
In preparation for the performance of Joe Sealy with Jackie Richardson, we will be showing two NFB documentaries.
Remembering Africville (Shelagh Mackenzie, 1991, 35 minutes) depicts Africville, a small black community that once lay within the city limits of Halifax. In the 1960’s the families there were uprooted and their homes demolished. The story of this painful relocation is told by former residents, their descendents, and some of the decision makers, with the help of archival photographs and films.
Africville Suite (2009, 5 minutes) is a short documentary in which Joe Sealy comments on the making of his Juno award winning album, Africville Suite.
