I think it was quite inappropriate of her to bring up Africville in that context. People living in Africville were kicked out of a community and their former homes were bulldozed.
This school is empty. Nobody lives there! And the community groups coveting the site
do have homes at the moment. Maybe they're too small. Everyone wants a bigger space than the one they have. But to compare this to what happened back in the sixties is to belittle what happened back then. Shame!
