This
is
a
little
museum
which
performs
the
history
of
the
ever
Africville
community.
There
was
a
close-knit
black
people
community
with
harmony.
Similar
with
other
African
Canadian
communities
in
the
last
century,
the
community
were
quite
self-sufficient
and
isolated.
Former
residents
recalled
that
they
used
to
see
kids
laughing
in
the
neibour.
There
were
many
little
vegetable
gardens,
and
residents
often
did
amateur
fishermen
to
enrich
their
dinner
tables.
It
wasn't
rare
to
see
the
residents
off
works
from
Halifax.
Community
dwellers
had
a
good
time
with
their
neighbours.
However,
the
bad
city
planning
project
destoried
the
peace
and
relocated
the
residents
at
the
end
of
1960s.
There
were
some
reports
demonstrated
drawbacks
and
poor
conditions
about
the
Africville
as
a
residential
land.
Therefore,
the
HRM
municipality
decided
to
turn
the
land
to
industrial
park
to
promote
the
local
economy.
Therefore,
houses
getting
destruction,
the
Africville
became
a
ruin.
People
from
other
communities
were
no
longer
to
see
the
Africville
with
harmony.
It's
regretting
for
the
former
residents
to
recall
the
time
which
they
grew
up
and
enjoyed
living
in
the
Africville
community,
though
there
is
a
picnic
party
each
year
in
July
to
memorize
the
age.
Overall,
the
municipal
officials
might
make
an
incorrect
deed.
There
used
to
be
an
active
and
live
community
which
was
filled
with
plain
and
harmony.
