Africville Museum

The Africville Museum, located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, preserves the history of Africville, a Black community forcibly displaced in the 1960s under the guise of urban renewal. Housed in a replica of the Seaview African United Baptist Church, the museum showcases artifacts, photographs, and oral histories, highlighting the community’s resilience and the injustices it faced. Established in 2012, it serves as a powerful reminder of Africville’s legacy and ongoing efforts for recognition and reconciliation.
