Episode Notes

Today's  conversation centres around the importance of community in land reclamation, and gives hope to the descendants of Africville. 

Our guest Kavon Ward, an activist, discusses her work in reclaiming land, notably the return of Bruce's Beach to its original owners in 2022, a first in American history. Kavon also co-founded "Where is My Land?" to help others reclaim their property. The discussion between Kavon and our hosts Eddie and Alfred highlights the systemic racism and lack of resources that led to the displacement of black communities, drawing parallels to other cases like Africville and Russell City.  Kavon emphasizes the importance of community support, digital amplification, and strategic activism in the fight for land restoration and reparations.
