‘Its an ongoing fight’: Community reflects on 15 years since Africville apology – CTV News
Monday marks 15 years since the city of Halifax offered an official apology to the former residents of Africville.
The historic African-Nova Scotian community was bulldozed in the 1960s. It stood along the Bedford Basin for more than a century before the city forced people out for what they called an “urban renewal.” On Feb. 10, 2010., former Halifax Mayor Peter Kelly spoke with those in attendance and said “you lost your homes, your church, all the places in which you gathered with your family and friends to share and mark the milestones of your lives. For all of that we apologize.”
