Title
Je Me Souviens: About the St. Armand Slave Cemetery, Memory, Counter-Memory and Historic Trauma
Abstract
An examination of the campaign for official recognition of a slave burial ground in the Eastern Townships. The campaign began in 1996 when Hank Avery, an elementary school teacher in St. Armand, learned that there was an unmarked slave burial ground at a site known locally as Nigger Rock, near the village. He began a campaign to have the cemetery designated as an historic site and marked by a monument. The site was designated in 2002.
