Summary:
"In 1921, prominent lawyer and
Nova
Scotia
Black leader James R. Johnston's vision of a place welcoming
Nova
Scotia
's Black
children
came to reality. In an era of segregation and overt racism that saw most orphanages refuse to take in Black
children
, the
Nova
Scotia
Home
for
Colored
Children
fulfilled an important role. But despite its good intentions, today the
Home
is mostly known for a troubling past. Former residents launched a class action lawsuit alleging sexual and physical abuse suffered at the
Home
over a period of several decades. Author Wanda Taylor interviews former residents participating in the lawsuit and upcoming public inquiry and connects their stories to her own relationship with the
Home
. The former residents provide an unsettling, and sometimes graphic, description of what life was like inside the
Home
and describe the many ways the government system designed to protect them instead exacerbated a culture of abuse and neglect. Wanda Lauren Taylor is a writer, filmmaker, educator and interdisciplinary artist. She is the author of Birchtown and the Black Loyalists"--Provided by publisher.
