"As a direct descendent of the first Black woman, Ms. Lalia Halfkenny, to graduate from the Acadia Ladies' Seminary, I am honoured to support the Reverend Dr. William and Dr. Pearleen Oliver Chair of Community Leadership and Social Justice. Their name alone is a legacy to the Province of Nova Scotia, in recognizing todays' advancement in social justice, education, employment and community. I would encourage individuals and groups to support this funding initiative in establishing this Leadership Chair so together we continue to create a future generation of ‘Olivers' who continue to impact our communities with their leadership.
