Title
The Role of the Black Community in Educating Blacks in Montreal, from 1910 to 1940, with Special Reference to Reverend Dr. Charles Humphrey Este
Abstract
Blacks from the Maritimes, the United States and the Caribbean began to move into Montreal in increasing numbers at the turn of the twentieth century. Among the institutions they developed to serve their community were the Union United Church, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the Negro Community Centre. For over forty years, the Union United Church was ministered by Reverend Dr. Charles Humphrey Este, known affectionately to his parishioners as "Rev". The author outlines the role of the Black community in educating Blacks in Montreal, from 1910 to 1940, through these community institutions, with special reference to the role played by Reverend Este. She argues that the educational environment created by these three institutions performed a special role, wide ranging in scope, for many areas of development and knowledge by providing a variety of learning situations which could not have been obtained by English-speaking Montreal Blacks elsewhere.
