One God One Aim One Destiny: African Nova Scotians in Cape Breton

By: Joan Weeks & The Glance Bay Universal Negro Improvement Association

Joan Weeks sews together the almost forgotten stories of The African diaspora settlement in Cape Breton and the Glace Bay Riots (1918). It begins with enslaved people and ends with the appointment of the first Black Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia. This book came from a museum curated in 2006 by the African Nova Scotian community in Glace Bay and the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA).
