On the right, an older man with a grey beard smiles slightly, dressed in a brown hooded jacket and knit cap, standing outdoors near a green field. Above them, bold text reads: “WE NEED TO BE THERE TO STOP IT!” framed by a thick gold border.

A few days ago, BlackNovaScotia.ca reported on circulating claims that legendary Africville protestor Eddie Carvery was facing possible eviction from the land he’s occupied and defended for decades.
