Weaving the Story highlights the lives of six Black Cumberland County seniors who talk about their homes, church and communities.

Diversity Spotlight is presented by Pier 21 in partnership with “We Can Build a Bridge” Youth Project and The Cumberland African Nova Scotian Association. Admission is FREE.
