Africville: Can't Stop Now

Africville began where the pavement ended. Located on the northern shore of the Bedford Basin, it was a home and a haven for many African Nova Scotian families who lived there for generations. When after years of neglect, the city of Halifax expropriated Africville in the 1960’s, residents were forced to leave their homes and businesses behind. Instead of finding the better life that the city had promised, many found themselves living in public housing projects and their community torn apart. Africville Can’t Stop Now joins former residents and descendants almost 40 years after the destruction of their community as they continue the fight for reparations.
