Beautifully done 👋 Thank you to all involved. I loved hearing a different yet very important integral part of the cities history 🙌

This is sad truth story of black Canadian in Halifax. The reality of Africville story. Thank you for sharing.

Cape Breton is a ghetto, there's a Whitney Center here in St. Cloud, Minnesota. See other half of our families.

Is this Halifax, NC or Halifax, VA, or is it Halifax, Noviscocia?

That was good. I had two thoughts while watching this. There is no animosity in their story. No resentment. Just pride. It's nice to see. Then, Viola D is represented so nice on the ten dollar bill. Her image and her face look so pretty and pleasant and feminine. I live in Truro now but I grew up in Halifax and I miss it.

This was very helpful in getting a sense of black history in Nova Scotia, thank you! I would love to see more!

Halifax what state?

...by chance...could you share some info on Truro, Nova Scotia...thx

it wasnt a ghetto is was a litteral dump with thugs and pimps, these blacks should be grateful we saved them from the underground railroad thats why there here, but they just wanted handouts and robing then go hide in there dump. diverse lol ns was 99% white until the flood of non Canadians enjoy recolonization :)

OMG, so that's where our people are. Why the hell did we settle in Toronto? Well, it's sad to report that there really isn't that much change, except now we deal with Policies and power structures rooted in White privilege to maintain institutional racism, also known as systemic racism. Interpersonal racism shows up in their biases for and against others based on race. In contrast, institutional racism is embedded into the structures of their society. Institutional racism leads people of different races to have different outcomes when it comes to housing, employment, health, finance, and education.

One only of what makes CDN best country is DISCRIMANTION PREJUDICES is not tolerated & still to present by govn'mt & its citizen ❤

Love those $10 bills! Makes me so proud of the Black community in Nova Scotia. Resilience doesn't begin to describe their strength of character. I cherish my memory of having a friend who lived on Creighton Street where I spent time with her family. Having never seen a Black person until I was in my teens, I was fascinated by these remarkable people. Then I got to know them and discovered that they were just lovely human beings. And when I heard the story of Africville, I was ashamed and horrified at the abject racism and utter disrespect for people whose only flaw was poverty and the colour of their skin!

I work at Northwood, glad to see Maye Sheppard,Mrs Daye and Jahalia Smith again , incredible ladies

The talent, intelligence, and genius that was subordinated for white fragility and dominance is so egregious. So many advances undeveloped and the prosperity that could have been realized but for the lie of white supremacy and the willingness and fragility of the persons willing to believe it....

thank you for sharing

Africa'ville was destroyed with Halifax explosion. I lived Cunard same area always got beat up by black girls lol I was just poor if them in my 20 they were racist against blacks but I rember say hi tryn to be friendly n they were agressive try to pick fights that's in 80s. Proud of Obama a gay black man whose the reason the world's in the state it is

In1980 Halifax had a girls ball team in spryfield named the Survivors. The team was not included on the list of girls ball teams for Halifax. I know this because I got a list of girls ball teams and was denied the right to play on all the teams on the list. When I complained that I was denied the right to play ball I was given the phone number for the survivors team. I became the only white player on a all black team. This show segregation in 1980.

Awesome video! Should have mentioned William Hall! ❤

Halifax is a African Canadian Community.

This enlightened my base knowledge about black Canadians in Nova Scotia. Well done!

Thanks for the info

why did he say she replaced queen elizabeth on the 10$ bill when she replaced john A mcdonald

Love to come back to this video to see my grandmother ❤

Ok! So it's not an Scottish, Irish, French, Jewish city. So this is the birthplace of hockey ? 😮

Nova Scotians are NOT 'Black!' That term is a government designated term to ethnically cleanse the Nova Scotian Canadian Decendents of Slavery, as now ANY person, anywhere in the world, whose skin colour is 'Black' so-called, can call themselves Black, even though they have ZERO history of slavery, racist terror or racist oppression. Nova Scotians are tri-racial isolates, Afri-cadians, Afro-Metis, or Afro-Negro mixed peoples! 'Black' designation is destroying and limiting opportunities for the very people who are to benefit from those opportunities! I.e. those who suffered from Slavery and oppression. Someone from Mali, Jamaica, or Guyana, never suffered what the Afro-Nova Scotians suffered at all! Totally different universe! And, just look at the names at the end of this documentary to prove my point! Africans telling the story of the Canadian Descendants of Slavery, yet their ancestors never experienced American slavery and racism! Tell your OWN stories!

Ancestry brought me here. It’s a divided people. The free blacks treated people bad too.

Wow, I honestly had no idea there was such a strong Afro-Canadian population out in Halifax. I learn something new everyday 😊

This was a solid video. My only objections are: The ancestors of the Black Canadians were NOT immigrants. They were mostly a people who came from Africans who were sold into chattel slavery. Thats not the definition of what an immigrant is. The old lady marveling so pridefully at the empty optics and empty symbolism of Obama, the so called First Black president. Obama used Black Americans to get into office and basically turned around and abandoned them while passing legislation for almost every other group but Black Americans once he got into office. He is noone to be celebrated, ever. And we won't mention that he isn't even Black American. He is of kenyan and white blood. That old lady's parents who seen and been a lot in their time would have been disappointed to see Obama. He didnt nothing for ppl who looked like her.

Sounds like Jim Crow South...wow....

They are not 'African' they are the true indigenous people of Nova Scotia. They invented the sport of Ice Hockey.

Great and informative documentry. Thanks so much for the stories. I grew up in Halifax not far from Africville and remember the area well.

this is very comical. the 200 illegal black families that entered Canada did nothing. Stop the lies and hoax of black victimization.

This was an excellent piece! Thank you so much. I have a lot of personal ties to this story and hearing the stories in the context of history is fascinating to me. PS, I also had to smile when I heard of the Arrows Club. I was a child and hadn't thought of it since, but still remember it. Across from the Citadel where the Palace was.

Thank you for this… I was born in the north end of Halifax in the mid 60s… it was a interesting time… the names and street names take me back thanks again 👍

Sadly too few Black Americans are aware of there being a Black Canada.

we all lived together in the ghetto,whites and black folks.. there were thousands more poor white folks than black folks..

Very Good Video!!! Thanks!!!❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉

Got my hair cut in Burgundy in mtl. Man was saying Halifax is little Mtl. And Mtl..is little NY. Scotians. The Rock is part Scotian

I know all of these families. I went to school with the grandchildren of those folks. I lived only 4 blocks away from where Africville once was.

I am familiar with Africville, but I didn't we in the States had so many similarities with Africville.

I grew up in Sydney and I remember black folks lived in Whitney Pier by the coke ovens. I can remember my father taking me to visit his friend Eddy Paris who lived there. The coke ovens was not a good place to live, it was all so unfair. Hopefully things have changed.

Two very beautiful lady's

Very informative...respect!!👍👍👍

I've lived in and around Halifax for over 25 years and love every inch of it, especially the north end!

Found this doing research in Cultural Studies course. Came across Black loyalists. Wow! Awesome! Didn't know they were a thing.

Go ahead and look up "North Preston Finest" and see how these fine people groom and then pimp out Canadian girls in the sex trade.
