CDBurns Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I couldn't bring myself to watch it Harry. I just didn't feel like another slave story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yeah Lawrence Hill's award-winning bestseller was republished last month If I had time I would get into this book. I visited Nova Scotia a few years ago. Blacks have a rich history in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynique Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I watched the first episode. It struck me as a female version of 12 Years A Slave. One of my facebook friends from my hometown is descended from black Canadians and she has a treasure trove of their history and photos which she posts regularly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
