Meanwhile<br />
In Canada<br />
By Lincoln Blades<br />
Imagine for a moment that you were a young person<br />
living in Africville with your parents. You were<br />
given a small piece of land by your father or your<br />
grandparents. You built your home on that piece of<br />
land. You paid cash for everything. It took you two<br />
years or more of hard work and you put every penny<br />
and every free moment into building this home.<br />
After two years, you had a home, a piece of land,<br />
mortgage free. It gave you an opportunity to bring<br />
up your own family and have a good start. You had<br />
financial security.<br />
My generation has been deprived of this opportunity.<br />
We will struggle for everything we get, because<br />
someone decided that the land of Africville would<br />
serve the city better as industrial land.<br />
