AFRICAN HERITAGE MONTH  - FEBRUARY 2019
OUR HISTORY is YOUR HISTORY
Our History is YOUR History recognizes the unique history of African Nova Scotians and how it is interwoven with the past, present and future of all Nova Scotians.  Our theme also aligns with the United Nations’ International Decade for People of African Descent (DPAD).  The goal of DPAD is to strengthen global cooperation in support of people of African descent as they strive for full inclusion in all aspects of society.
