Jeff interviews John Davids, research coordinator at the Black Community Resource Center (BCRC) in Montreal about their work and research in Quebec. Established in 1995, their mandate is to provide and implement professional innovative support services to individuals, communities, para-public and public organizations. They also develop and run health, education, socio-culture, and community economic development programs.

John mentions that a lot of the history of the Black Community in Montreal has revolved around some key historic institutions, including:

Negro Community Centre of Montreal - was formed in 1927 in response to the racial discrimination experienced by the Black community.[1] The Black population of Montreal is linked historically to decedents of Africans who were enslaved in Montreal. (Wikipedia)

The Coloured Women's Club of Montreal - was founded in 1902 in Montreal, Canada, by seven African-Canadian women and has made significant contributions to Montreal's Black community. It ran along the lines of the American National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, and its first president was Anne Greenup. (Wikipedia)

Union United Church - is Montreal, Quebec, Canada's oldest black congregation. It was founded in 1907 by several members of Montreal's black community who experienced racial conflict and were banned from entering all-white churches. (Wikipedia)
