Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There is no historical evidence suggesting that many people of African descent came as refugees from West Africa during the 20th century. Most of the Black Nova Scotians are descendants of African-American loyalists or escaped slaves who arrived in the late 18th or early 19th century. Some Afro-Caribbean people have migrated to Nova Scotia in recent decades, but they do not make up the majority of the province's Black population.
