February is African Heritage Month
The 2025 African Heritage Month theme is “Legacy in Action: Celebrating Black Brilliance.” It honors the enduring legacy of Black Nova Scotians, paying tribute to the community’s resilience, achievements, and lasting impact throughout history. The theme reflects the brilliance within the community: the stories we share, the lessons passed down by our 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 provides an opportunity to celebrate this heritage and recognize the culture, achievements, and contributions of Black Nova Scotians—both past and present.
