Learn the story of Africville, Halifax's predominantly African suburb, the residents of which were evicted and their homes razed in what became the local scandal of the 1960s. In 2010 Halifax's mayor issued a formal apology to the community. Poignantly, the museum is housed in a replica of the Seaview United Baptist Church that was once the center of the neighborhood.
