Through Our Eyes: The Voices of African Nova Scotians is this year's provincial theme. With it, we recognize the longstanding history of people of African Descent in the development of Canada. We explore and examine the effects of anti-Black racism, and we honour the voices of African Nova Scotians who blazed the trail for change.
Presented by TD and Halifax Public Libraries in partnership with the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia, and Black History Month Association
