A Thriving Community Lost: Africville

Published 6 years, 7 months ago

Description

There was a community that existed for 150 years right next to Halifax. The black village of Africville dealt with racism, indifference from Halifax and plenty of tragedies. It was also a community with a strong sense of belonging, where people helped each other and some thrived. This is the story of Africville, the community that existed until Halifax literally bulldozed it to dust.
