    On this weeks episode we are sharing a LIVE talk we gave at the Moncton Public Library. While we are not historians, we are so thrilled to be given these opportunities to speak about the history of Black people in New Brunswick and the attrocities they have faced through the years. Thank you as always to Meredith Batt from the Provincial Archives for helping us collect files and data, the Book "Blacks in New Brunswick" by W.A. Spray, the NB Black History Society, and the many websites that have written on the subject, and to all who attended!
