Title A name given to the resource The Stages of the Little Burgundy Urban Renewal Project Subject The topic of the resource Urban Renewal in Little Burgundy Description An account of the resource The name Little Burgundy (St. Antoine District) only became a recognized neighbourhood name in the 1960s, when city officials used it to label an ambitious urban renewal project. For decades, the community had been heavily dependent on railway employment, which provided stable work and a sense of economic security. When passenger train travel declined in the 1950s and 1960s, hundreds of Black men were laid off, creating immediate financial hardship. At the same time, the city reorganized urban space to prioritize white suburban commuters, constructing new highways that cut directly through the northern part of the neighbourhood demolishing large sections to make way for public housing. These twin pressures of economic collapse and forced displacement threatened to erase the community and its vibrant culture. Yet the residents of Little Burgundy fought to preserve their identity. Jazz clubs, restaurants, and social hubs like the Black Bottom became critical for resistance, providing spaces to gather, celebrate their culture, and assert their presence despite systemic efforts to push them out. Even as the community dispersed and its culture faded slowly over the decades, initiatives today are actively working to revive and honor Little Burgundy’s rich heritage. Cultural events, heritage walks, and museums now celebrate the neighbourhood’s jazz history, its Black-owned businesses, and the stories of resilience that defined this vital Montreal community, bringing the spirit of Little Burgundy back to life for new generations.

The description of the relocation as a “slow death” shows how deeply painful and drawn-out the destruction was for residents, and Pa Carvery’s refusal to leave until the very end showcases his emotional connection to the place he called home. As the last person to leave Africville, his stand wasn’t about money or stubbornness, it was about dignity, memory, and refusing to let the community’s spirit be erased without a fight. His story shows how one individual could embody an entire community’s resilience. https://omeka.uottawa.ca/mathieu-black-canadian-history-exhibit/files/original/d813840444dd7f57694d8cbdb8cf1281.jpeg 238e175c4df09c5b4853a635cdf696db Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Philip Randolph, the president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP), to Stanley Grizzle, written in March 1955. Randolph thanks Grizzle for his prior letter, in which Grizzle brought to attention the fact that Black men would not be hired as sleeping car conductors by the Canadian Pacific Railroad (CPR). Randolph congratulates Grizzle on his legal battle with the CPR, and their failure to uphold the Canada Fair Employment Practices Act. Randolph states that the BSCP is working on a proposal for the Canadian Pacific Railway for the promotion of sleeping car porters to sleeping car conductors. He ends the letter with the following valediction: “Fraternally yours.” This salutation demonstrates the brotherhood and camaraderie between members of the BSCP, and their mutual respect for working towards a common goal.

Title A name given to the resource Topographical Township Map of Shelburne County, Nova Scotia Description An account of the resource This map shows the land divisions, settlements, and waterways of Shelburne County, Nova Scotia—including the area around Birchtown. Founded in 1783 by Black Loyalists, Birchtown would go on to become the largest free Black community in colonial Canada. This settlement was named as such in honour of General Samuel Birch, who contributed to the Book of Negroes and signed the passports of Black Loyalists, allowing them to get to Nova Scotia safely. Displaying this map shows that free Black settlements were neither temporary nor informal: they were planned and recorded, lasting for decades after the abolition. Additionally, the existence of a settlement established by Black Loyalists for Black Loyalists shows that their struggle for agency in a new world was rooted in geography as much as it was rooted in identity.
