The Nova Scotia Home for Colored Children is an orphanage in Halifax, Nova Scotia that opened on June 6, 1921. It was built, because at the time, white home care institutions would not accept black children in need. In the 1960s segregation was coming to an end, and black people were being integrated into white institutions. In the present day, the building is used as a meeting place for community groups. The home came under fire when many former residents came forward with allegations of abuse they experienced during their time at the home, which ended in a class action lawsuit, an apology from the Premier of Nova Scotia and the establishment of an official Public Inquiry into the abuses at the Home. The public inquiry, established under the Nova Scotia Public Inquiries Act was the first
