S01E01Africville

The once vibrant, prosperous and self-sustaining African-Canadian village known as Africville has come to represent the oppression and racism faced by Black Canadians and the efforts to right historic wrongs. The origin of Africville dates back to the late 1700s. We document its living history - from the original residents who witnessed the destruction of their homes and livelihood in the name of ‘urban renewal’ during the 1960s, and their children and grandchildren who continue to fight for equality and justice.
