SUMMARY:Speakers for the Dead
DESCRIPTION:Speakers for the Dead | Jennifer Holness &amp\; David Suther
 land | 2000 | 49 min (This program is presented with a short animated 
 film - MacPherson | Martine Chartrand | 2012 | 10 min)\n\nThis documenta
 ry reveals some of the hidden history of Blacks in Canada. In the 1930s in
  rural Ontario\, a farmer buried the tombstones of a Black cemetery to mak
 e way for a potato patch. In the 1980s\, descendants of the original settl
 ers\, Black and White\, came together to restore the cemetery\, but there 
 were hidden truths no one wanted to discuss. Deep racial wounds were opene
 d. Scenes of the cemetery excavation\, interviews with residents and re-en
 actments—including one of a baseball game where a broken headstone is us
 ed for home plate—add to the film's emotional intensity.\n\nThe animated
  film MacPherson by Martine Chartrand (Black Soul) recounts the friendship
  between a young Félix Leclerc and Frank Randolph Macpherson\, a Jamaican
  chemical engineer and university graduate who worked for a pulp and paper
  company. An inveterate jazz fan\, Macpherson inspired Leclerc\, who wrote
  a song about the log drives and entitled it “MacPherson” in honour of
  his friend. Paint-on-glass animation shot with a 35mm camera.\n\nFor more
