The Africville Museum in Halifax stands on the site of a historic African Nova Scotian community that was demolished by the city in the 1960s in the name of urban renewal. Housed in a replica of the community's church, it tells the story of the tight-knit village on the harbour shore and the trauma of its displacement. Photographs, artifacts and personal testimonies document a century of Black life and its forced destruction. The site has become a place of remembrance, apology and reconciliation.
