Show Notes
This fortnight we’re joined by Dr. Mary McCarthy-Brandt to discuss New Brunswick’s segregated cemeteries, and her work with “REACH in New Brunswick” to locate, document, and preserve Black cemeteries in New Brunswick. She also shares some information about forthcoming publications and an art exhibit about that work.
