  • Summary

  • Shaun Carvery, a descendent of Africville and a Detective with the Halifax Regional Police, joins Eddie and Alfred to chat about the dichotomy of his experience with regards to the unfairness in the systematic treatment of Africville decedents by the police.

    Eddie Carvery recounts a pivotal childhood memory from the 1996, in Halifax, where his grandfather led a protest against the police, leading to a racial slur and physical violence. The conversation shifts to the history and ongoing struggles of Africville, a Black community displaced in the 1960s. Also Eddie's second cousin, Shaun, discusses his dual role as a police officer and community advocate, emphasizing the importance of internal change within institutions. Shaun highlights the need for continued education and advocacy, urging youth to seek out role models and strive for better opportunities. The discussion underscores the importance of community support and the ongoing fight for justice and recognition.
