Dear Mayor Plante,

Montreal’s traditional Black community would have called the area “St. Antoine” but it is now known as “Little Burgundy.”
The community’s history can be explored through the plaques, panels and murals commemorating Black achievement and the parks dedicated to celebrated figures.
The tour begins at Lionel Groulx metro station and ends at Georges Vanier metro station...

Imagine being told to take what personal possessions you could carry and leave the only home you have ever known. That’s what happened to people called Loyalists, American colonists who supported the British King during the American Revolution (1777-1783).
