Celebrate African Heritage Month 2025
February is African Heritage month, This year, African Heritage Month embraces the provincial theme, “Legacy in Action: Celebrating Black Brilliance.” The theme celebrates the enduring legacy of Black Nova Scotians, paying tribute to the community’s resilience, achievements, and impact throughout history. It reflects the brilliance within the community: the stories shared, the lessons passed down by elders, the rhythms that drive progress, and the powerful ability to honor the past while shaping the future. Nova Scotia is home to 52 historic African Nova Scotian communities, with a rich and complex history that spans more than 200 years. African Heritage Month is a time to honor this heritage and celebrate the culture, achievements, and contributions of Black Nova Scotians—both past and present. It is a moment to recognize the strength of our shared legacy and the brilliance that continues to inspire future generations.
