CELEBRATE AFRICAN HERITAGE WITH HALIFAX PUBLIC LIBRARIES
Seas of Struggle: African Peoples From Shore to Shore
Nova Scotia has been home to people of African descent for over 300 years. Halifax Public Libraries is proud to be a resource for exploring and commemorating your roots, history, and family traditions and narratives.
Your stories are waiting to be told. Share in workshops, performances, community conversations, and our free collection of resources year-round.
The TD Ready Commitment is the presenting sponsor of African Heritage Month 2023 at Halifax Public Libraries. Their support makes it possible for us to host and share high quality African Heritage programs and content throughout the month of February and year-round.
Check back often for new events, community voices, and gallery updates.
