Birth
Africville Forever
07/04/22 • 25 min
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.
