History

This plaque was unveiled by representatives from Canada Post, Africville Heritage Trust Society, and Africville Genealogy Society in 2014. The plaque was designed by Karen Smith, a former Africville resident. The plaque serves as a commemoration of the former Africville community and a way for former residents to pass on their stories to future generations.
