Birth

From the moment Halifax was founded in 1749, enslaved African people were brought to dig out roads and begin building the city. An early Black community found refuge a few kilometres north on the southern shore of the Bedford Basin — an area that became Africville.

This is the story of how that small collection of improvised homes, would become one of North America's most important Black communities.

If you care about racism, displaced peoples and social justice, then you need to know the story of Africville Forever.
