Africville : an African Nova Scotian community is demolished--and fights back

Wesley, Gloria. (Author).

Summary: A look at the community of Africville in Halifax, which was founded in the 1800s by African Nova Scotians and grew to become a tight-knit community of about 400 people, until the City of Halifax decided to demolish the community in the 1960s. Also discussed is the city's eventual apology and offer of some compensation after years of pressure, as well as how the spirit of the community lives on. Includes links to video clips.
