Nova Scotia town removes Haliburton’s Sam Slick imagery
Nova Scotia town removes Haliburton’s Sam Slick imagery Oct 14, 2020 It wasn’t until an illustration from one of Thomas C. Haliburton’s books was reproduced in a festival program that many in Windsor, N.S. became aware of the racist content in The Clockmaker, a book written in the 1830s featuring the satirical character of Sam Slick. The illustration depicting a Black man on his knees in front of the clock-peddler Slick was immediately identified by residents as racist, spurring a decade-long conversation in the east coast town where Haliburton lived, and which celebrated Sam Slick Days from the 1970s to 2009. https://haliburtonecho.ca/nova-scoti...slick-imagery/ |
