Summary:
'The
Halifax
Explosion' is a poem written by
Halifax
's seventh poet laureate, Dr. Afua Cooper. It reveals dramatically what happened on 6 December 1917 at 9:05 when two ships carrying munitions and war supplies collided in the
Halifax
Harbour. It also shows the personal heroic actions of many African
Nova
Scotians, despite the long-term and continuing racism and discrimination suffered by the African
Nova
Scotian community. And it asks a powerful question ... does
Halifax
remember?
