| description | This article examines the role that Union United Church, the oldest Black church in Montreal, Quebec, played as a social welfare institution from 1907 to 1940 during the establishment of the city's Black community. The Union Church and its affiliated church groups played a significant role in the Black community. As a social welfare institution, it provided the community members with basic necessities, particularly during a downturn in the economy. Social, recreational, and educational activities were organized through the church to promote a sense of community. Through its ministers, community members battled against the "Colour Line" that excluded members of the community from equitable employment and educational opportunities. |
