'The rumble got louder, the walls quaked as if in fear, and the classroom's windows started to pulse and shake before they completely shattered, showering everyone inside with glass.' On December 6, 1917, the face of Halifax changed forever when the Imo, a Belgian Relief ship, collided with the French ship, the Mont Blanc. Shortly after 9:00 a.m., the Mont Blanc, which was carrying a large cargo of explosives, blew up. It destroyed much of the city's north end and neighbouring communities like Tuft's Cove and Dartmouth. The effect was catastrophic. Almost immediately, aid was rushed to Halifax as survivors and workers dug through rubble and ruins for friends and family. Over 2,000 people died and 9,000 were injured, while countless others were rendered homeless. As news broke about the explosion, newspapers from Toronto to Hawaii and France to Australia scrambled to provide readers with updated information. These and other stories gave face to a disaster which, at the time, was a mix of ever-changing statistics, details, and questions about blame. Often the reports were exaggerated and erroneous. In Halifax, newspapers carried lists of the injured, dead, and missing alongside a collection of notices and ads. This strange juxtaposition showed just how quickly the explosion had happened as holiday-themed advertisements mixed with notices about relief and stories of survival and death. Together, they present the overarching image of Halifax at the time - survival and confusion - while separately they show just how much impact one event had. Katie Ingram is a Halifax-based freelance journalist and writer.

This book tells the story of Dr. Clement Cortenay Ligoure, a Trinidadian who obtained his medical degrees from Queens University at Kingston, Ontario and went on to become the first Black physician to practice in Nova Scotia. During the chaotic weeks following the 1917 explosion in Halifax Harbour, Dr. Ligoure treated hundreds of patients without payment. His unrelenting diligence and selfless actions saved many lives. From 1916 to 1917, he also served as an editor and publisher of The Atlantic Advocate, the first newspaper in Canada devoted to the interests of Black people in Halifax and throughout the province. Though a tireless recruiter and fundraiser for the No. 2 Construction Battalion during the First World War, the military denied Dr. Ligoure the commission of Medical Officer for his unit. After The Atlantic Advocate ceased publication, he worked on behalf of Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL) as an ardent spokesman. - Joel Zemel.
