African Heritage Month:
The Black Loyalist Heritage Site, located in Birchtown, near Shelburne on Nova Scotia’s South Shore, shares the story of the Black Loyalists – free men and women who fought for the British during the American Revolution and won their freedom.

In the late 18th century, Birchtown was the largest free Black community in British North America.  It was the centre of the Black Loyalist experience in Canada and its founding represented a turning point in the history of persons of African descent in Canada. 

In spring 2015, the Black Loyalist Heritage Centre opened. It takes visitors on the journey of these earliest Black settlers to Nova Scotia – and for some, back to Africa. Visitors can also scroll through the names in the Book of Negroes, a document containing the names of the Black Loyalists who won their freedom by taking up arms for the British.
