The Black Church as a Social Welfare Institution: Union United Church and the Development of Montreal's Black Community, 1907-1940
|
| Abstract |
An examination of the role that Union United Church, the oldest Black community church in Montreal, played as a social welfare institution during the first half of the twentieth century. The church and its affiliated groups provided community members with basic necessities during downturns in the economy; organized recreational and educational activities to promote a sense of community; and organized community members to battle against the “Colour Line” that excluded them from equitable employment and educational opportunities.
