We acknowledge that African Nova Scotians and people of black heritage have resided in this region for over 400 years. We proudly recognize that as a founding people, their contributions began over 150 years before Kentville became an incorporated Town.
African Nova Scotian history is our shared history – a history that dates back centuries and is filled with achievement, accomplishment and resiliency. This page recognizes the rich local history of African Nova Scotian Communities within our town and region and some of their many contributions.
