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.

Today's conversation centres around the importance of community in land reclamation, and gives hope to the descendants of Africville.

Our guest Kavon Ward, an activist, discusses her work in reclaiming land, notably the return of Bruce's Beach to its original owners in 2022, a first in American history. Kavon also co-founded "Where is My Land?" to help others reclaim their property. The discussion between Kavon and our hosts Eddie and Alfred highlights the systemic racism and lack of resources that led to the displacement of black communities, drawing parallels to other cases like Africville and Russell City. Kavon emphasizes the importance of community support, digital amplification, and strategic activism in the fight for land restoration and reparations.
