The New England Planters first arrived with slaves to Yarmouth in 1760. Following the 1784 Shelburne Race Riot, Black Loyalists migrated to Yarmouth in search of freedom, land, and employment opportunities. Shawn caught up with Yarmouth resident Bruce Johnson to share his lived experience growing up in Yarmouth. We discuss the unwritten rules of segregation in Yarmouth, how land ownership actually worked for his parents, and our ties to the Yarmouth singing group the Mission-Aires.

Episode Summary: Community Introduced, Guest’s Connection to Community, The Central Gathering Point for Blacks In Yarmouth, Inspiration for Pursuing Career in Pharmacy, and Overview of Segregation within the community
