African Heritage Month
February is African Heritage Month, a time to learn, reflect, and celebrate the history, culture, achievements, and contributions of African Nova Scotians and people of African descent.
Today we recognize Wendie Wilson, an educator and artist who designed and created the African Nova Scotian flag. The idea for the flag began in 2012 when her daughter was researching a school project. Wendie discovered there was no flag specific to the African Nova Scotian community, so she began researching flag design and symbolism. She carefully chose colours and symbols that reflect the history and identity of African Nova Scotians.
Stay tuned to learn more about the meanings behind the flag’s colours and symbols. Remember to listen closely to the daily facts, as you will need them for our trivia challenge at the end of the month.
