About this listen

In part 1 of this 2-part series on Black foodways, we met with Bernice Byers-Arsenault and Beatrice Wilkins at the Africville Museum in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We learned about life and the abundance of food that they enjoyed while living in the Black settlement of Africville before the city dispersed their community. We also chatted about the story behind their cookbook, “In the Africville Kitchen: The comforts of home.”
