In 1969, the last home in the Black community of Africville was flattened. The bulldozer was hired by a city that had schemed to claim this valuable land for generations.
In this series, we tell the story of this unique and beautiful place. Born out of adversity, it thrived as a safe haven for people of African descent in Canada. Back for a second season, we tackle the crucial question: how do you rebuild after destruction?
If you care about racism, displaced peoples and social justice, then you need to know the story of Africville Forever.
