An Ode to Africville

Stories to be tolled

In this episode Tracy put's her 'poetic narrative' hat on with a celebration to mark February's Canadian Heritage Month. Africville was a small community of African Nova Scotians who first came from New York to settle in Nova Scotia, Canada from 1783 onwards. infamy and controversy became associated with the site after World War 2 when it became the target for undesirable facilities to be established and was razed to the ground under agendas for 'urban renewal' where its original residents were then forced to vacate and relocated to housing projects.
