River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid. In the 1970s and 80s, a self-help company called Lifespring took America by storm. Hundreds of thousands of people walked out of Lifespring as true believers, convinced that the seminars had the power to change the world. ...

Africville acted as a safe haven for previously enslaved Black folks from across "Canada", "America" and The Caribbean. Black folks were unable to secure housing within city limits due to racism and being denied the opportunity to rent or secure housing by white folks who reaped the benefits of a city built up by the same people they were violent towards. The Haligonian government did everything in their power to harm the Africvillians who were simply just trying to be happy and create stability for themselves and their families. This town was eventually destroyed by the same government who forced them to curate their own community. Eddie Carvery, an Africvillian through and through, held one of the longest civil rights protests in "Canadian" history against the City of Halifax for the slow genocide and 100 year hell residents were put through. Eddie occupied his protest site on and off for over 50 years and yet he is rarely, if ever, spoken about in an educational context or when Africville is discussed. This episode discusses the harm the Haligonian government rolled out, the way Africvillians did everything they could to live joyous lives, the demolition and and destruction of the beautiful town, of course Eddie Carvery and his protest, but also the apology and ensuing compensation which took place in 2010.
