25 February - Speak It! From the Heart of 
Black Nova Scotia

Sylvia D. Hamilton, National Film Board of Canada, 1992, 29 minutes. An award-winning examination of growing up young and Black in Nova Scotia in the 1990s, Speak It! looks at a group of high school students as they, with help from mentors, work to build self esteem and discover the richness of their heritage.

The Little Black School House
Sylvia D. Hamilton, Maroon Films Inc., Canada, 2007, 60 minutes. Through archival film footage, rare photographs and touching first hand accounts from past students, Hamilton’s film explores the history of segregated schooling in Ontario and Nova Scotia.
