More about the book
Dramatic imagery captures the catastrophic events of December 6, 1917, when the collision of two ships in Halifax Harbour led to a devastating explosion. The poem not only recounts the tragedy's impact on Halifax and its residents but also emphasizes the bravery shown amidst the chaos, particularly within the African Nova Scotian community, who faced ongoing racism. Dr. Afua Cooper commemorates this historical disaster through evocative verse, enhanced by striking photographs and art, highlighting the experiences of Black Haligonians during this pivotal moment.
