The Nova Scotia Home for Colored Children : the hurt, the hope, and the healing / Wanda Taylor. by Taylor, Wanda Lauren. Nimbus Publishing, 2015. Call #: 362.732 T247n Subjects Nova Scotia Home for Colored Children.   Children, Black -- Abuse of -- Nova Scotia -- Dartmouth.   Children, Black -- Institutional care -- Nova Scotia -- Dartmouth.   Children, Black -- Education -- Nova Scotia -- Dartmouth.   Orphanages -- Nova Scotia -- Dartmouth.   Child welfare -- Nova Scotia -- History. ISBN:  9781771083584 (pbk.) Alternate title:  Hurt, the hope, and the healing : the Nova Scotia Home for Colored Children Description:  176 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. 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.
