From the early to late 1900s Strathcona was home to a thriving Black community of entrepreneurs, community builders, political activists, entertainers and more. As this community began to grow it was eventually referred to as Black Strathcona.

The dismantling of Black Strathcona began in the early 1970s when the city began construction on a freeway through the Hogan's Alley neighbourhood forcing the community to face systemic barriers in the form of housing and economic discrimination. The Georgia viaduct was completed in 1971 and completely dismantled the western end of Hogan’s Alley, along with it housing, businesses and community were displaced as well. By 1990 there was little left of the once thriving Black community in Strathcona.

We encourage you to learn the history of our neighbourhood and to address, reconcile and support the reclaiming of Black visibility in Strathcona.

This piece by @owomukishaka - as apart of the Black Strathcona Resurgence Project - reminds us to take responsibility for one another’s well-being. It is as important as ever to respect, protect and honour one another as we would our own family.

For more info on the former Black Strathcona community and some iconic figures within our city's history visit @blackstrathcona.
