I am honoured that the Black Cultural Centre of Nova Scotia made mention of the contributions that David States and I made to their new permanent exhibit on Victoria Cross winner, William Hall. David did the research and I wrote the words.
Here is the text the BCC issued on April 24, 2025, on their Facebook page:
“Thank you to everyone who came out yesterday to celebrate the opening of our new exhibit, William Hall: Courage, Land, Sea, and Life! We were especially honoured to host members of the crew of the HMCS William Hall who shared insights into what it’s like to sail on Hall’s namesake vessel. Special thanks to designer John DeWolf at Narrative Environments Studio and the fabrication team at Atlantex Creative Works, as well as the best writing duo out there, Dr. A.J.B. Johnston and Dr. David States! If you missed the opening, you can come in anytime to view the exhibit – it’s a permanent addition to the museum.”
