Africville was an African-Canadian neighbourhood that stood on the shores of Bedford Basin from the 1860s; it was condemned and destroyed a century later for bridge and industrial development. This museum, situated on the east side of Seaview Memorial Park in a replica of Africville’s Seaview United Baptist Church, was established as part of the city government's belated apology and restitution to Halifax's black community, and tells its story through historic artifacts, photographs, and interpretive displays that inspire the visitor to consider the corrosive effects of racism on society and to recognize the strength that comes through diversity. An "Africville Reunion" is held in the park each July.
