Bruce Marsman was 13 when the city of Halifax evicted his family from  Africville, a community of black residents on the northern tip of the Halifax peninsula. Marsman and other former residents returned this week for a reunion. They arrived in recreation vehicles and pitched tents on the land they once called home. Today, it's an off-leash  dog park. It's been nearly 50 years since city authorities razed the community. Marsman still remembers the day his family was forced out.
