Description: The captions for these images from an unknown source demonstrate both class stratification and the broad range of differences in cultural backgrounds of Montreal’s Black population. Dance is used to demonstrate both. More importantly, the captions reveal that there was a need to state that Black people differed from one another, lived in different parts of the city, came from different parts of the world and that they did not all know one another.
