- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 28 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Wed, 28 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: In 1984, Halifax Public Libraries and the Black History Month Association launched their inaugural Black History Month program in Halifax.

-------

This year’s African Heritage Month provincial theme is “Strength in Unity: Moving Forward with Purpose, Prosperity, Power, and Progress.” The theme speaks to the power that comes when African Nova Scotians and people of African descent stand together with a shared sense of direction. It recognizes unity as an active force for change that strengthens communities, advances justice, and creates new opportunities.
