Mainstreet Halifax

A month ago, Harvey Amani Whitfield was appointed the first Centennial Carnegie Chair in the History of Slavery in Canada -- this is a position he holds at Dalhousie University, and the University of King’s College in Halifax. According to the announcement on the King's website, the position was created to: "...redress historical exclusions and chart a course for a more inclusive and diverse future."

This morning, I dropped in on Professor Whitfield in his office.
