Africville Heritage Trust's Proposal

In this episode host Eddie Carvery unpacks the Africville Heritage Trust's proposal to acquire more land at Africville, for a larger parking lot and marina. This proposal has once again divided the community into the people for the proposal, from the people against. Eddie Carvery, a descendant of Africville, criticizes the lack of inclusivity in the decision-making process and the potential limitations imposed by the land's National Historic Landmark status. He emphasizes the need for economic opportunities and community development to address generational trauma and displacement. The discussion highlights the importance of balancing historical preservation with future growth and the potential benefits of a UNESCO designation for funding. Eddie calls for a pause in decisions until the ongoing revisioning process is complete.Join the fight at AfricvilleForever.comHosted by Eddy Carvery III & Alfred BurgessonArtwork by Vanessa ThomasA Podstarter production for Frequency Podcast Network
