The Rock?[edit]

Why is Dwayne Jonhson up there? He may be of black Nova Scotian heritage on the paternal side but the guy's clearly from California. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.160.99.253 (talk) 23:34, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think his inclusion in the infobox makes sense. He was born and raised in America anyways (which is where Black Nova Scotians are descended from), so it's like his Afro-American ancestry came full circle, in a sense. Blackjays1 (talk) 21:04, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Harold Cromwell[edit]

I'd like to make a suggestion to add Harold Cromwell to the list of notable Black Nova Scotians. Harold Cromwell was a prolific folk artist who's work has been collected by the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (he is, in fact, the only Black Nova Scotian folk artist in their collection). Additionally, his work has been exhibited at contemporary art galleryKS Art in New York.Lauren.dimonte (talk) 14:08, 16 September 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lauren.dimonte (talk • contribs) 14:04, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes or usually?[edit]

"and were sometimes usually very independent until the 1960s"

Either they were sometimes very independent, or usually very independent, but not both. Someone who knows this should pick one word or the other. GeneCallahan (talk) 01:45, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

correct term[edit]

As far as I know, in Nova Scotia the term used is African Nova Scotians. This is the term used by the government - see http://ansa.novascotia.ca/ African Nova Scotian Affairs. Is there a reason to prefer Black Nova Scotians? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 15:30, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Its just one organization... most source used Black. Got to remember most black Canadians are of Caribbean ancestry....thus the reason in Canada Black is the more common term. They are Afro-Caribbean not just African...got to remember lots of admixture over the years with British, French, Spanish, Dutch and native population. -- Moxy (talk) 19:37, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I agree. I just always heard "African Nova Scotian" and I thought it was 'official', while thinking it was inappropriate. But Google agrees with you and who am I to disagree?! thanks. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 05:59, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
