Description: Through historical photographs and the stories of present-day residents of Nova Scotia, documents the rich culture and traditions that provide the foundation for continuity in black families and the black community. The interdependence of family, church, and community is historically woven throughout black society, constructing a web of mutual strength, particularly among women. Along with oral history, which has helped to reclaim and reconstruct a rich and proud heritage, black mothers have given their daughters the legacy of a strong sense of identity and positive self worth. The role of elder women as living testimony to the spirit of survival is recognized in their accounts of the strength, determination, and initiative required to live in a world not willing to acknowledge the rights of black people.
