Black History Month is a time to celebrate the ach

Black History Month is a time to celebrate the achievements and contributions of black people throughout history. It is also a time to reflect on the struggles and challenges faced by black people throughout the world.

Here in Vancouver, “Hogan’s Alley” was a neighbourhood located in Strathcona of those of African-American descent who worked as railway porters.

This closely-knit neighbourhood was home to various Black cultural institutions including “chicken house” restaurants, steakhouses, and the African Methodist Episcopal Fountain Chapel.

By the 1960s, most of the Black population had left the area and integrated into the general population before the city began expropriations of area lots.

Today, Horgan’s Ally is reduced to the southern portion of Chinatown, but the legacy still lives on as various Black History Month committees, the Black Cultural Association, and the Horgan’s Alley Memorial Project succeeded in keeping the memory alive.

Take this month to educate yourself and others about black history and culture. Visit Horgan’s Alley and learn about its rich history. Share what you learned with a family member or friend.
