The African Nova Scotian Freedom School is coming again this August!
The African Nova Scotian Freedom School is a summer program that was founded in 2020 by longtime, Black community educators in Nova Scotia who believe in the fundamental brilliance, aptitude, and leadership capacity of our children and teens, as well as culturally grounded curricula that guides and supports these traits. We believe in working together in a non-hierarchical fashion, sharing decision-making collectively, and honor the unique strengths and assets each person brings to this community project. We are grounded in a commitment of service to our people. For us, as beloved educator and ancestor Wade Smith often said, giving back "is not a choice, but an obligation" to our community and crucially, the next generation.
