Share this short video with your students on the history of Africville, a black community in Nova Scotia that was demolished in the 1960's. It is now a historical site in Canada. Also take out Last Days in Africville by Dorothy Perkins. You can find it in the paperback fiction section under PB F PER.More information on Africville, such as television and radio clips, can be found in the CBC archives at http://archives.cbc.ca/society/racism/topics/96/.
