Have to tell you about the new sculptures at Grand-Pré. They are called "Deportation" and consist of three statues; one is a young boy, another a young girl and the other is the mother with a babe in arms and the father. The best part is that they all have their arms outstretched (except for mother who is holding the baby) and folks have been going to the sculptures and joining hands making a chain. It's a sight to behold. I don't think that the sculpter had that in mind but it is happening and is serving as a wonderful bridge between the past and the present. Ronnie-Gilles gave the keynote speech at the unveiling this past Sunday. It was a wonderful day at Grand-Pré.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
