Judith Fingard, a retired history professor and a former president of the RNSHS as well as a fellow of the RNSHS and of the Royal Society of Canada, published a number of papers in the 1980s and 90s relating to the emergence of the black middle class in Halifax. This presentation covers some of the same ground, but with an emphasis on the opportunities for young women to improve their life chances in the face of the significant obstacles they encountered.
