Hogan's Alley
Before Urban Renewal, before displacement, and before dispersal, there was life. For many years Hogan's Alley was the heart of Vancouver's Black community. But that community began in the 1850s, when James Douglas, (the father of British Columbia) invited Blacks to settle Vancouver island in an effort to stave off American annexation.
Little Burgundy
Tucked between Griffintown and St. Henri in Montreal's Sud Ouest is Little Burgundy, home to a Black population led by Black men who worked in Canada's railway industry as sleeping car porters.
