Very thought provoking. I agree 100% Mr.Carvery that all the houses should be rebuilt & proper sewage, water, street lights, paved roads and policing, should be provided, & the people & or surviving families should also be compensated financially. The apologies mean absolutely nothing until this is done. Then & only then do the apologies mean something. If the city can not afford to do so, then they can sell city properties until they can afford to put back what was destroyed & stolen.

Wow. This is bringing tears to my eyes. I always used to ask my Nanny why she had so much pain in her eyes and this is why. This is horrible

My research has bore this out to be fact. The Halifax explosion was no accident. It was a deliberate demolition targeting Africville/Turtle Grove which at the time was seen as one Indigenous-Black community. Today the notion of Indigenous has been divorced from Blacks as to convince the world that the indigenous people of Canada's maritimes are pale. The demolition was successful in taking out the 2000 residence of "Turtle Grove" (which was renamed Tuff's cove to erase the site from memory after the explosion) but unsuccessful at destroying the south coast. Everything this elder is saying can be confirmed by the Nova Scotia archives for those who are inclined to look.

Thank you for sharing our Families history. I know more about my heritage now.

Yes uncle Eddy you never gave up God bless you always 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️

It's time the world hear this true story. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Africville should be in every schools curriculum in Canada. Indigenous people have made headway. In 2021, we know about cultural genocide and residential schools. Time for this shameful chapter of Canadian history to also come to light. One other thing Mr. Carvery could have told was Africville residents paid municipal taxes. Still no city water or sewers. Same amount of money it cost to destroy Africville would have paid for utilities. Only answer? Racism.

Thank you so so much. We shall overcome one day soon my strong people. God 🙏🏿 will continue to bless our people 🙏🏿

I visited him in 2014 and he is amazing. A true library. Then we went to the museum. Canada did them dirty. They could've stayed. It's a dog park now smfh. Sad

He lost me when he said the Halifax explosion was on purpose

Thanks for your story Eddie.

The part “ that dump becomes our source of income but it was a death sentence..”😭

Keep on living non stop, we are the original people and we will exist forever.

Thank you for this❤️

Just so sad maybe a land transfer agreement is coming soon like the Nunavut just got . Africville'sdaughters

I remember seeing Africville as a child in the fifties. I was shocked. This man talks truth about his life. I am the Witness.

Any body remember playing at the sawdust pile.

Lest we not forget 🙏🏾

God loves you Eddie!
