Saint John - Connections to The Port

In this episode, our hosts Shawn and Laurice, alongside historian Graham Nickerson, continue their journey and uncover the often-overlooked history of Saint John, New Brunswick and deep ties to the Black Loyalist migration.    From skilled tradespeople to labourers and entrepreneurs, their work fuelled the growth of Saint John's economy, leaving an indelible mark on its history. This episode aims to shift the historical lens, bringing into focus the experiences of Black Loyalists in New Brunswick.  Join us for a journey into the heart of a community's resourcefulness, resilience, and enduring legacy.
