Episode 56: We Journey to Black Harbour

from Shelf Esteem · host Trudy Morgan-Cole

In the first podcast episode of 2024, we have a Black History Month special where I visit with Xavier Michael Campbell and Heather Barrett and talk about their book Black Harbour. Our conversation ranges from the record of enslaved people in Newfoundland history, to peppermint knobs, salt fish, and men named Junior, as well as to the idea that "there's no Black people in Newfoundland," why we can sometimes be defensive about our history, and some more reading suggestions for people who'd like to delve deeper into Black history.
