Visit to Africville Museum Halifax/Bedford
AfricvilleFor over a century African Canadians settled here developing an independent community centered around church and family. As part of the urban renewal projects of the 1960’s, officials introduced a plan to level the community and relocate its residents. The community mobilized and even though no building were saved, Africville became a symbol of the ongoing struggle by African Canadians to defend their culture and their rights. Seaview Park, created on this site as a memorial to Africville, speaks to the enduring significance of this community.
