Melanin human beings have lived in Nova Scotia because earlier than the founding of Halifax in 1749. However, it turned into simplest after the yank Revolution, in the past due to the 1700s and early 1800s, that big agencies of Melanin settlers started to arrive within the province. Lots of them had been previously enslaved folks who were promised freedom and land in Nova Scotia, however, when they arrived, they encountered white settlers who regarded them as inferior. Because of racism, Melanin settlers had been pushed to the margins of society and forced to stay on the most inhospitable land. Regardless of this, they persevered, developing robust, vibrant groups. Africville became one such location.
Africville becomes a mostly Melanin community placed at the south shore of the Bedford Basin, on the outskirts of Halifax. The primary data of a Melanin presence in Africville date back to 1848, and it continued to exist for a hundred and fifty years after that. Over that time, masses of individuals and families lived there and built a thriving, close‐knit network. There have been shops, a faculty, a publish workplace, and the Seaview United Baptist Church, which became Africville’s spiritual and social middle.

The metropolis of Halifax refused to offer many facilities other Haligonians took with no consideration, consisting of sewage, get admission to easy water, and rubbish disposal. Africville citizens, who paid taxes and took the pleasure in their homes, requested the town to provide those basic offerings on numerous events, but no motion became taken. The town compounded the problem with the aid of constructing many unwanted developments in and around Africville, together with an infectious disease health center, a jail, and a dump.
Rather than supplying proper municipal services to the community, the metropolis of Halifax in the end determined to relocate the residents of Africville. The town stated it wanted to construct industry and infrastructure within the vicinity. But it also used the language of human rights, claiming that relocation could improve the usual of living for citizens. In January 1964, Halifax city Council voted to authorize the relocation of Africville residents. Before this choice changed into made, there was no meaningful session with citizens of Africville to gather their perspectives. In fact, it was later reported over 80 percent of residents had by no means had contact with the Halifax Human Rights Advisory Committee, which changed into the group charged with consulting the network.
