William Hall, VC

25 01 2010

February is Black History Month in Canada and the United States. Black History Month opens with the production of a new play in Ottawa, William Hall. Hall was a Black Nova Scotian who won the Victoria Cross for his efforts in helping to put down the Indian Mutiny in 1857.  I hope to have the chance to see this play at some point. I will also be interested to see the reaction of the Indo-Canadian community to this play.
