There will be a meeting today at lunch in C225 for students involved in the African heritage assembly.

Yesterday, Nova Scotia celebrated Heritage Day and the honouree was the community of Africville. The community of Africville was a small close-knit African Nova Scotian community located on the shores of the Bedford Basin. It was built by the descendants of the Black Loyalist and the Black Refugees who came to Nova Scotia in the late 1700s and early 1800s.

In the 1960s the community was systemically destroyed in the name of “urban renewal”, including the Seaview Baptist Church which was demolished in the middle of the night in 1967. In 2002, Africville received the National Historic Site designation. 2004, the United Nations declared the treatment and destruction of Africville a crime against humanity. In 2010, Africville received an official apology from the Halifax Regional Municipality. Today a replica of Seaview Baptist Church stands on the land as the Africville Museum.

The 3v3 basketball has been postponed to a later date which will be announced when confirmed!
