Tomorrow, August 1, is Emancipation Day. On this day, we are reminded of the significance of reflecting on history, taking action against racial injustice, and celebrating the strength and resilience of Black communities in Canada, including the 50+ historic Black communities in Nova Scotia.

On August 1, and every day, we recognize African Nova Scotians as a distinct group who arrived in Nova Scotia 400 years ago. From that time on, they have contributed to the infrastructure and economic wealth of the towns and cities they helped to build.
